Check out our online exhibition, 'Celebrate Colorado: Show Us Your Downtown'! ⁠
⁠
Show Us Your Downtown is a juried online exhibition hosted on CPAC’s website in conjunction with the celebration of Colorado’s 150 years of statehood.⁠
⁠
In honor of this milestone year, we invited residents from across Colorado to explore and share the downtowns that define their communities. From historic main streets to evolving urban centers, downtowns are places of connection, creativity, commerce, and change. They reflect our shared history while shaping the future of our state.⁠

Juror Darrin Alfred selected 30 artworks to be featured in this exhibition. Visit the link in our bio to see the whole show!⁠
