Join us for May’s First Friday Art Show, Stars Over the Rockies, a night dedicated to Colorado’s mountain silhouettes, star-studded skies, and the magic that happens where the peaks meet the cosmos.
In honor of the 2026 Blossom Festival theme, artists are invited to create work that celebrates the mountains and the night sky. Think sweeping Milky Way exposures, moonlit ridge lines, celestial-inspired paintings, mystical mountain silhouettes, cosmic collages, dreamy mixed media, or sculptures that echo the vastness of the night.
If it captures the spirit of the Rockies under the stars, it belongs in this show.
