On Edge 2023

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, evaluated without artist statements or names visible to the juror, to ensure that the quality and content of the artwork is the primary guiding factor for selection. The juror is Annie Geimer, Producer/Artist Liaison for Meow Wolf and the Denver Theater District's Understudy Arts Incubator Space.

Entry fee is $35. Submissions should include 1-3 total media samples (images, video, or audio). Artists must be able to hand-deliver artwork in person; shipped artwork cannot be accepted. All work must be ready to hang or display professionally. Maximum weight for 2D artwork is 70 lbs. For time-based media, artists must provide equipment to display the work (video monitors recommended). Headphones are required for audio/video work. Artwork drop-off is July 30, 4:00pm-6:00pm and July 31, 6:00pm-8:00pm at 6501 W. Colfax, Lakewood, CO 80214. The exhibition runs August 4-20, 2023. Artists will be notified the week of July 10. The Juror's Choice Award is $250. Edge Gallery takes a 30% commission on sales.
