Be a part to the highly-regarded Denver Arts Festival -- All artists are invited to apply! 

Now in its 28th year, and 2nd year with new director Jana Novak, the Denver Arts Festival continues to be dedicated to supporting visual art and artists, especially those from Colorado. The Festival's goal is to host an event that champions art and community, resulting in shared success for all participants. 

The Denver Arts Festival consistently ranks as one of the top festivals in the country, and offers high caliber art, supportive community, strong sales opportunities, artist amenities, and a diverse, growing audience eager to connect to art and to community. 

The Denver Arts Festival holds its annual premier fine arts and fine crafts event at the Conservatory Green in the Northfield area of Central Park (formerly Stapleton). The Central Park Community consists of upscale neighborhoods, parks, bike trails, shopping and more. Its more than 35,000 residents (and growing!) are in the top 1 percent of the nation in median income and education levels. It also has the only forever-funded office whose primary job is to create and support events for its residents; the Denver Arts Festival is the largest event in Central Park. 

There is plenty of free parking and all artists will be on paved streets. Art patrons from throughout the metro Denver area find it easy to come to the Festival as the location is just off two major highways. 

The fine art exhibition features approximately 145 to 150 visual artists with more than 45,000 people expected to attend.
