Colorado State University Curfman Gallery 2025-26 Exhibition Season

The Lory Student Center Arts Program at Colorado State University is accepting entries for the 2025-26 Curfman Gallery exhibition season. Located in the heart of the Colorado State University campus, the Lory Student Center receives over 20,000 visitors a day. The Curfman Gallery showcases work by nationally and internationally recognized artists, as well as local and student artists. For more than four decades, the Student Center's diverse exhibits of varying media have offered patrons the opportunity to interact with engaging works of art, stimulating cultures, and the history of CSU.

The LSC Arts Program seeks to bring visual arts to all students at CSU and create an environment that welcomes emerging and nationally-renowned contemporary artists. For the 2025-26 season, the program is seeking thought-provoking work firmly rooted in contemporary practice. Work exploring issues of community, current social phenomena, new material investigations, or traditional media in new contexts may receive special consideration.

Entry fee is $25. Applicants may submit solo exhibitions or curated 2-3 person shows, and may enter as a group. All media and all sizes are accepted. All work must be ready to install; installation work will be considered if the artist will travel to install. Work samples should include 15-20 total items, with a maximum of 20 images, 5 audio files, and 5 video files. The LSC Arts Program will provide up to $300 in reimbursements for delivery of artworks to Colorado State University. Insurance during delivery is the artist's responsibility; CSU provides insurance coverage after check-in and verification of safe arrival. CSU will pay for return shipping using the same materials as delivery, with CSU providing insurance for the return. Artists interested in visiting campus to discuss their work should include a proposal for what they would like to present, such as a workshop or artist talk. The LSC Arts Program does not broker sales; in the event of a sale, interested parties will be put directly in contact with the artist, who retains 100% of the sale price.
