The 2022 juried show will be held at R Gallery in downtown Boulder, half a block from the Pearl Street Mall. We are seeking artworks from artists living in the U.S. in all styles and mediums, with no specific theme.

The show will run April 27, 2022 through May 29, 2022. The deadline for submission is April 4, 2022, midnight Mountain Time.
