The Lory Student Center Arts Program at Colorado State University is excited to announce an open call for entries for the Fall 2020- Spring 2021 Curfman Gallery exhibition season. Located in the heart of the Colorado State University campus, the Lory Student Center receives over 20,000 visitors a day. The Curfman Gallery provides a showcase for the creations of nationally and internationally recognized artists, as well as the work of local and student artists. For more than four decades, the Student Center's diverse exhibits of varying media have offered patrons the opportunity to interact with engaging works of art, stimulating cultures, and the history of CSU.

The LSC Arts Program seeks to bring the visual arts to all students at CSU. Our mission is to create an environment that welcomes emerging and nationally-renowned contemporary artists. For the Fall 2020-Spring 2021 exhibition season, we are seeking thought-provoking work that is firmly rooted in contemporary practice. Work exploring issues of identity, community, current social phenomena, new material investigations, or traditional media in new contexts may receive special consideration.
