We are thrilled to share the exhibiting Artists that will be joining us for the 2024 Cherry Creek Arts Festival! Two hundred and fifty talented artists across 13 mediums, including ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, printmaking, jewelry, metalworks, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture, and wood. Save the date and join us July 5, 6, 7, 2024!



This year's event is particularly special: 53 artists are first-time exhibitors; 35 artists are from Colorado; 3 International Artists; 5 Emerging Artists that will each receive NEW $5,000 grant support as a part of the program.

This year’s jury was no small task! Our jurors examined 1,942 applications over the course of a week and selected 250 artists to showcase their work at this year's Festival. They also selected recipients of our Emerging Artist Grant Program.

Thank you to this year’s distinguished jurors from left to right: Robert Varela award-winning CCAF artist, based in Eugene, Oregon; Barbara Lewis owner, Lewis Art Consulting, in Denver; Betsy Youngquist artist, educator, and gallery owner in Rockford, Illinois; Jane Burke curator at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, based in Denver; Paige Whitcomb award-winning CCAF artist, based in Springfield, Missouri.

One of our favorite programs, the Student Art Buying Program is open for applications! This exceptional program is provided through the support of BOK Financial and provides access for Colorado students to become art collectors for their schools.

Students and teachers from Colorado schools are invited to attend the Cherry Creek Arts Festival with the goal of finding a permanent installation for their school. Students learn about art appreciation and the business of art directly from Artists while developing teamwork, public speaking and financial literacy skills. 

Schools, community centers, and organizations with a focus on students are encouraged to apply by March 15th to be considered.

This pop-up art gallery showcases original works of art that travels to schools, libraries, community centers and other public venues. The traveling gallery introduces art to thousands of people each year in multiple locations. So far this year, the Mobile Art Gallery has traveled 333 Miles around Colorado!
