Denver International Airport Seeking Artists for Colorado-Centric Photography Exhibition

DENVER – July 1, 2019 – Denver International Airport (DEN) is searching for photographers to share their vision of Colorado’s past, a captured moment that embodies the present, or their foresight into Colorado’s future. Colorado is a vibrant state filled with interesting and inspiring landscapes, architecture, people and culture. Each resident has a unique viewpoint of what visually defines Colorado – and DEN wants to feature those perspectives.

This call for entry is free to apply, and open to all photographers across the state. The deadline to submit is July 21. The exhibition will display the juried photographs from approximately 30 different artists. The selected photographs will be announced on Aug. 23.

My Colorado will be a two-part exhibit with an overall duration of approximately two years. The first and primary location of the exhibit will be on DEN’s Concourse A, just beyond the bridge security checkpoint, from Oct. 2019 through Mar. 2020. Thereafter, the exhibit will be relocated to different locations on Concourses A and B through early 2021. My Colorado will be experienced by approximately 180,000 travelers daily. Photographs will be displayed on standard walls and hung with an Arakawa hanging system.

All selected artists whose work is included in the exhibition will be acknowledged with a 3”x5” wall placard that includes name, image title, year and web address.
