Artists, are you MODERN?

How do you interpret Modernism?  Is your work an homage to the past or a continuation of those ideas?  Do you gain inspiration from the Googie styles of the 1950’s, or the sleek lines of Le Courbousier?

This is your chance to have your work seen by over 3000 Modernism lovers, who will be coming ready to shop at the Denver Modernism Show!  We accept art in any medium as long as it fits the show …. Abstract art, realism and more will be considered.

Lauri Lynnxe Murphy, former owner of Capsule Gallery and Westword "Mastermind," will be the curator of this year’s show.

Enter as many works as you like, the first entry is $25.00 and each additional entry is $5.00.  Entry fees do not guarantee acceptance into the show, which will be determined by our jurors. All entries should be made electronically, as emailed jpegs. Accepted artists are responsible for delivery and pick-up of  their artwork to and from the Expo Hall.  If you need to ship work, please contact art@denvermodernism.com for more information.

Jpeg submissions, entry forms and payment are due by August 1.
