Selected artists receive up to a $125 honorarium for exhibiting their work.
This call is open to artists residing in Larimer County.
You will be asked to submit your contact info, a short artists statement and artist bio, and 4-6 photos of your artwork. If you have any questions, please direct them to Kristen Vohs, Visual Arts Assistant, at kvohs@fortcollins.gov.

Bring your Creative Project to the Center for Creativity
The City of Fort Collins Arts & Culture Department invites artists, individuals or teams, to help bring the Center for Creativity to life with temporary creative projects. We’re looking for bold, imaginative and community-centered ideas across all disciplines: sculpture, dance, music, spoken word, film, projections, installations, performances — or something entirely new!
If your idea can engage the community, spark creativity and transform the space, inside or outside, we want to see it. Think exhibit, pop-up, demo, performance or a creative mix of all the above.
Opportunity Details:
- Timeline: Projects may take place any time November 2026 – February 2027 (based on space availability).
- Support: Multiple proposals will be selected. Chosen artists receive free use of the Center for Creativity, sponsored by the City’s Arts & Culture Department.
- Venue: The Center for Creativity at the Historic Carnegie Library is a City-run cultural hub with updated interior and exterior spaces. With improved accessibility and versatile rooms, it’s perfect for exhibits, performances, classes, workshops and community events.
- Applicants must live within Larimer, Weld, Jackson or Laramie County.
- Applicants must be 18 years or older (or have at least one team member who is 18+).

In addition to contact information, you’ll be asked to include the following information:
