As part of the Denver Art Museum’s contribution to Colorado’s 150th anniversary, they’re launching their first-ever art fair on August 1, 2026. The Colorado Day Art Market will transform the museum plaza into a one-day outdoor market featuring around 40 Colorado artists and artisans showcasing and selling original work across a range of mediums.
Timed alongside a Free Day at the museum—and additional programming from nearby cultural institutions—this event is expected to draw many visitors, creating a high-energy, high-visibility opportunity for participating artists.
Artists are selected through a blind jury process, with a focus on original, handcrafted work made by Colorado-based creatives. A limited number of discounted spots are available for emerging artists.
This is an outdoor, rain-or-shine event, and selected artists will manage their own booth setup and sales, keeping 100% of their revenue.
