The Art Base 2027 Open Call

The Art Base invites Colorado based artists to apply to our annual Open Call for exhibitions in our two Basalt galleries, and affiliate exhibition spaces. We welcome proposals for solo, two/three-person and group exhibitions across all media, with four week exhibition periods. Applicants may also opt into consideration for group exhibitions curated by our panel of jurors. Each proposal is reviewed on its own merits, with attention to artistic rigor, presentation, and relevance to the community the gallery serves. We support a diversity of artistic practices, without prioritizing any single approach. All proposals are expected to be articulated with clarity and professional care. Public programming is a core part of our mission as a community art center, and we strongly encourage proposals to incorporate outreach, dialogue, and/or educational engagement.
