Colorado Day Art Market at the Denver Art Museum 2026

• The Colorado Day Art Market exists to celebrate Colorado creativity and to showcase Colorado artists, artisans, and their creative contributions. All applicants will be asked to certify that they currently reside within the state of Colorado.
• Application images must reflect what the Artist/Vendor intends to exhibit at the show.
• Applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable $25 application fee.
• Applications are reviewed by a blind jury; the Artist/Vendor’s name or business name MAY NOT appear anywhere in the Artist Statement, on images of the Artist’s work (including signatures), in the booth image, or in the descriptions of individual images. Applicants may use a block of color or a blur effect to cover their name as needed in photos. Applicants who submit any of the above mentioned with their name or business name may be disqualified.
• The Artist Statement must identify the Artist’s medium and include specific explanations of the processes/techniques they use, how their work is produced, the number and roles of any employees/assistants/apprentices who help create their work, and whether any outside sources such as a foundry or printing lab are used.

Fees:

• Application Fee: $25 (non-refundable)
• Standard Artist Booth: 10’ x 10’ - $250 flat booth fee

  • A limited number of corner booths will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis
  • Artists requesting a corner must plan to have either the corner wall open or to use the outside of the wall to display art. Corners are defined as a space having the ability to show on the outside wall and having at least 4’ clear on one side of the space. Corners do not mean artists can spread their displays into that open area.
  • Artists may indicate their interest in a corner booth when applying but this does not guarantee that they will receive a corner booth upon acceptance.
• Partner (Non-Artist Vendor) Booth: 10’ x 10’ – a limited number of organizational/partner booths are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Several organizations/partners have been invited to apply directly and to submit their information via ZAPPlication to streamline information and communication. Please note that all partner applications will be subject to review to ensure overall fit with the mission of the Colorado Day Art Market.
