Every three years, all 10,000 square feet of the Arvada Center Galleries are filled with a celebratory survey of Colorado Artists' incredible diversity, quality, and depth of work. After its start in 2013 and iterations every three years, Art of the State 2025 continues its legacy as a juried exhibition showing off the powerful scope of contemporary art across the state. This open call open to all Colorado artists garnered 2,503 submissions by 911 artists. The jurors worked diligently to select a comprehensive overview of work that strives to capture a wide scope of art from across the state. From those entries, 148 artworks by 145 artists were selected.

Jurors:

Jane Burke, Executive Director, Union Hall

Chris Herron, Interim Associate Museum Director, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art

Collin Parson, Director of Galleries and Curator, Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities
