CACE Western Art Show 2022

The Morgan Community College Center for Arts and Community Enrichment (CACE) coordinates and manages the Western Art Show in cooperation with the Brush Rodeo Association July 4 celebration. The event opens on July 1 with a V.I.P. social at which participating artists are guests. During the V.I.P. social, attendees vote for the piece of western artwork that will be the centerpiece for the following year's event poster and promotional materials. After the July 1 V.I.P. event, the Western Art Show is free and open to the public on July 2-4, from 1:00-7:00 PM each day.

The entire event is held at the Mark Arndt Event Center at the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Brush, Colorado. Both 2D and 3D artwork are accepted. 2D artwork must be wired and suitable to hang from peg board hooks. Tables and/or shelving are available for 3D pieces. A maximum of 25 artists will be selected. Artists are urged to be in attendance during the show when possible. Art sales are encouraged with 10% of sales retained by CACE and 90% reimbursed to the artist. All artwork must be removed at the end of the show on July 4th or from 9:00 A.M. to noon on July 5.

Applicants must submit a minimum of ten images of original artwork for jurying and an application fee of $15.00. Applicants must be able to deliver and pick up their artwork to and from the venue. Regional eligibility applies.
