The Estes Park Art Market is a Memorial Day weekend event held in Estes Park, Colorado, a short drive from Denver and the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies sponsors this popular summer kick-off event, which has been running for over 20 years. Approximately 100 artists will be accepted through a competitive, anonymous jury process. The show welcomes artists of fine art or fine craft who exhibit their own handmade works. All art must be original in concept, design, and execution.
