Organizer's Promotional Message
All artists are invited to apply!

Now in its 27th year, the Denver Arts Festival continues to be dedicated to supporting Colorado visual artists, along with a select group of talented National visual artists. 

The Denver Arts Festival will hold 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 covers 12 square miles that used to be the Denver airport property. It is now home to many upscale neighborhoods, 50 parks, bike trails, shopping and more. Currently more than 35,000 residents live there but new houses are going up constantly so that number increases every year. Central Park is the only development in the country that has a forever-funded office whose primary job is to create and support events for the residents of Central Park.  As the largest event in Central Park, the Denver Arts Festival is proud to be working with the MCA (Master Community Association) to host the festival. 
There is plenty of free parking and all artists will be on paved streets. All art patrons from the Denver area will find it easy to come to DAF since the location of the festival is just off two major highways. 

The fine art exhibition features 145 visual artists with more than 35,000 people expected to attend.
