Prospectus
Artists may submit a maximum of two pieces for consideration. For this exhibit, artists are asked to share their artistic vision and interpretation of how they are inspired by living in Colorado. Artists are encouraged to explore their own unique perspective of why they live and create in Colorado.

NOTE: This summer the City of Greenwood Village will be participating in a One Read Program. Residents are encouraged to read the same book and participate in many community activities through the month of August. This year's selection is "Lake of Fire" by Colorado author Mark Stevens.

About the Curtis Center for the Arts
Originally built as a one-room schoolhouse in 1914 to serve ten local students, the historic, brick building is now home to the Curtis Center for the Arts. The Curtis School was formally opened in 1914 with no electricity or running water. The one acre of land the school sat on was originally donated by area resident Mary J. Curtis in 1901. In 1991 the building was dedicated as the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center. Today, the Curtis Center continues to be a learning center for the arts. The Center offers art instruction, rotating visual arts exhibits, lectures and the occasional performance. The Curtis Center for the Arts is owned and operated by the City of Greenwood Village.
