On Edge 2021

ON EDGE is an annual juried exhibition of contemporary work by artists residing in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region who are pushing the boundaries of material and concept. EDGE Gallery has exhibited groundbreaking contemporary art for more than 30 years and has been instrumental in presenting important experimental work in the region.

All artists working in any media and residing in the Rocky Mountain region are invited to submit their work. This show is open to contemporary art of any medium, with an emphasis on work that challenges the margins of material, content, artistic process, and technology. The merits and definition of "contemporary" will be defined by the juror. The exhibition uses a blind jury process, with artist names hidden from the juror to ensure that the quality and content of the artwork is the primary guiding factor for selection. Honorary Juror: Brandy Coons, Curator of the Firehouse Art Center in Longmont, CO. The Juror's Choice Award is $200.
