Art Expo at Cheesman Park 2025

The Art Expo at Cheesman Park is a celebration of creativity, where artists from various disciplines come together to showcase their imaginative works. The festival will feature both new and emerging artists showcasing the latest trends in handmade goods and fine art. Located in the historic Cheesman Park neighborhood, one of Denver's most prestigious and affluent neighborhoods, this 80 acre park is surrounded by old growth trees, walking paths, and is bordered by the Denver Botanic Gardens. The event takes place on Sunday, June 22, 2025 from 11 AM to 6 PM on the south side of the park between East Thirteenth Ave & High St & East Eighth Ave and Franklin Street.

This event is open to all artists and makers of handmade crafts who make their own merchandise. All participants must create original work of their own concept, design, and execution. Reproductions are permitted but no reselling of mass produced items. Artists may apply in more than one category but must submit separate applications for each medium. The jury is composed of Colorado artists representing various media and uses a rolling review process every two weeks until the event is full.

The jury application fee is $20 and exhibitor space costs $200, with optional upgrades for corner locations ($30), electricity ($15), and tent rental ($30). Artists retain all proceeds from their sales with no commission asked. Five digital images are required for application, including work samples and preferably a booth shot. Categories include artisan crafts, ceramics, digital art, drawing/pastels, fiber work, and more.
