Call for Artists

As a lead-up to the Creek Week Cleanup and Arts Month 2021, The Carter Payne will be hosting an art exhibition telling the story of watershed health. Media of any sort may be entered for potential acceptance in the show and must relate to the topic. Ideas for submission include wildlife or nature photography, trash art, or the people-watershed connection. Pieces must come ready to hang on the wall.

Three (3) $100 People’s Choice Awards will be presented based on in-person public voting between September 1-30 at the Carter Payne, 320 S. Weber St. Colorado Springs. Extra votes may be purchased for $1 and will support the Watershed District. Awards will be in the form of gift cards sponsored by the Watershed District and the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region.
