About
Overview
Open theme means no theme. The Lab on Santa Fe invites artists to take control and test what the space can hold. We welcome all mediums, all styles, all subject matter. Show us you're open to your muse, not trying to please. Painters, Illustrators, Printmakers, Sculptors, Video Artists, Installation Artists, Collage/Assemblage Artists, Textile/Fiber Artists, Ceramists/Potters, Photographers, etc. are all welcome.
Location & Exposure
The Lab on Santa Fe sits in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe, ground zero of Colorado's most visited art scene. The gallery is planted in the middle block of the three-block stretch that hosts the First Friday Art Walk—the largest crowds in the state. Maximum exposure. Maximum impact.
