Fountain Creek Nature Center’s Annual Rotating Art Exhibit

Since 2023, Fountain Creek Nature Center has hosted a Rotating Art Exhibit. This exhibit gives local creatives the opportunity to share their work with a new audience and supports El Paso County Nature Centers’ mission of connecting people to their natural and cultural resources. The exhibit is updated monthly so visit often to view and purchase new pieces!

We are currently seeking applications for January – June of 2026! If you are interested in participating, please read through the guidelines below and apply by November 8, 2025.

Guidelines:

  • Artwork must be nature related and local to Colorado.
  • All items must be able to hang from a metal gridwall display. No piece can be greater than 2’ wide.
  • If selected, artists are responsible for bringing in a minimum of 10 unique pieces. These pieces can be originals or prints.
  • Each exhibit period lasts one month, beginning on the first business day of the month and ending on the last. Fountain Creek Nature Center is open Tuesday-Saturday, 9am-4pm.
  • Artists are responsible for bringing in their items the week prior to the exhibit period and must pick up unsold items the week after it ends.
  • Items are put up and taken down by nature center staff unless alterative arrangements are made.
  • Sales will be split 70/30; 70% to the artist, and 30% to our supporting nonprofit Friends of El Paso County Nature Centers.
