HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD invites artists of every discipline to create work inspired by American film. You don't need movie knowledge; impressions, moods, colors, shadows, spaces, and the ways moving images appear in your world are valid starting points. Film lovers can also draw from scenes, characters, genres, iconic moments, shots, or movies that shaped them. Think one striking detail—a gesture, a prop, a frame, a pattern, a piece of architecture, or a bit of dialogue—and let it grow into your visual language. A wide range of responses is welcome, from tributes to loose interpretations and abstract echoes. We accept painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, textiles, ceramics, collage, digital work, mixed media, sound, comics, and experiments.

Located in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe, The Lab on Santa Fe offers strong visibility through First Fridays along with a reputation for selling large amounts of art. The exhibition runs from February 20 - April 4, 2026. Entry fee is $32.00 with a deadline of November 30, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Artists must submit 1-3 images and optionally 1 video, with a total of 1-4 work samples. Please include framed size in application, as any work 5 inches larger at drop-off than stated can be turned away. All out-of-state artists must cover shipping costs to and from Colorado, and art can be turned away if wire hangers are not attached or canvas sides are unpainted.
