Artworks Center for Contemporary Art (ACCA) is seeking submissions for ENGULFED, an exhibition shedding light on the crisis of forest fires across the globe. Artists may respond to the forest fires by developing work that focuses on global warming, resource destruction, property damage, loss of life, wilderness protection, sustainability, political issues, fire mitigation, first responders, or broadly conceptual work dealing with the interpretation of “engulfed”.
Alternatives to Violence in partnership with Artworks Center for Contemporary Art invites artists working in a variety of media techniques to enter Domestic Violence: An Artist's Perspective, a juried exhibition. This exhibition will primarily serve to raise awareness of domestic violence in our area and your contribution will help survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking and sexual assault right here in our community.

Sweetheart donations and proceeds will go to our fall Indigenous exhibition.
This year we are planning an important exhibition and would love your support!
In order to make sure we are providing the best experience for our curator, Danielle SeeWalker, the artists, performers, and lecturers, we are asking for donations and sponsorships. These funds will provide participating artists with stipends and cover shipping fees, while your support will help lift the voices and educate the community about Indigenous Artists. We would like to have robust programming surrounding this exhibition including an Indigenous fashion show, a lecture series, Indigenous foods, and artist demos. Our fundraising goal for this exciting event is $20,000.
Not only does your support ensure that we continue to bring innovative contemporary exhibitions to Loveland, it also helps us champion our growing community of resident artists here at Artworks. Your support continues to help us bring contemporary artists to the Loveland and Northern Colorado community along with providing subsidized studio space for our artists.
