Creating Today to Inspire Art Education Tomorrow

ArtSource Colorado is excited to announce an open call for entries for theCourageous Creations Next Gallery exhibit January 6-22, 2023.  As a member of Next Gallery, located in the 40 West Arts District in Lakewood, Colorado, ArtSource Colorado offers an exciting piece to our membership by hosting an annual show that is based on the theme explored during the summer residency.  
This past summer’s residency theme, Courageous Creations offered engaging presenters and ample studio time for art educators to reignite artistic visions and courageously step into unknown media. 
 
For the Courageous Creations Next Gallery exhibit January 6-22, 2023, we are seeking thought-provoking and developed work that demonstrates your willingness to push yourself courageously as an artist.
The residency experience is an opportunity to reawaken the deeper reason for teaching and making art. The ArtSource Gallery Membership seeks to enhance the summer residency experience to ArtSource members.  Our mission is to be leaders in the evolution of art education and developing artists.  As artists and educators, we seek to find ways to weave innovative creative experiences into our practice. 

We are thrilled to have Kim Dickey, as well as a member from Next Gallery jury our show this year! Kim Dickey is an accomplished artist and professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  She was one of our presenters at our 2022 summer residency.
