2022 Fraser Mountain Mural Festival

The 2022 Fraser Mountain Mural Festival takes place August 5-7, 2022, presented by the Town of Fraser and the Fraser Public Arts Committee. Artists will compete by producing their best work on 8ft x 8ft primed panels. Each accepted artist will receive a $500 stipend to help with expenses. The festival is a platform for local, front range, and national artists to compete for cash prizes while generating creative energy and raising awareness for The Fraser Center for Creative Arts.

The festival theme is "Art — a force of nature. Earth, wind, water and fire: Embracing the natural things that help shape the world around us / our environment and challenge our senses." The schedule includes artist check-in and meet & greet on Thursday, August 4th, with painting beginning Friday, August 5th at 9:00 AM. Murals are completed Saturday, August 6th at 4:30 PM, followed by an award ceremony at 6:00 PM. Live music will be featured throughout the event. An online auction closes Sunday, August 7th at 5:00 PM.

Applicants should submit images of past work and a tentative design for the mural. Instagram and website links are appreciated. Artist statements and history are welcome but not required. Entry fee is $25.00. Applicants must be accomplished muralists willing to work outside in variable mountain weather, interact with visitors, and attend the Saturday night awards event. International artists are eligible.
