Telluride Arts invites local artists, makers, and nonprofits to share their work through multiple platforms: solo, group and pop-up shows at our main HQ Gallery as well as the Wilkinson Public Library and Citizen’s State Bank Gallery; and participation in the Makers Market for non fine-art goods. Opportunities are announced via our website, email newsletters, CAFÉ, local partner networks, and Art Walk. Visit our Calls page to learn more about upcoming deadlines and how to apply.

Thanks to generous support from local philanthropists, we are opening a Social Justice Artist Grant – Call for Artists, supporting the creation of new visual work. The selected projects will receive between $2,000 and $5,000 ($20,750 in total funding) and will be featured in a small, curated traveling exhibition beginning in Telluride and moving through participating communities in fall 2026.

Augment Music Project, a fiscal sponsee of Telluride Arts, supports the local music scene by providing grants, funding, and performance opportunities to Telluride-area musicians. Since 2023, it has awarded grants to a dozen artists and groups, helping advance careers while fostering community engagement through live shows and events like the Summer Concert Series and weekly Farmer’s Market performances.
