The City of Louisville, CO is seeking an artist or team of artists to design and install a sculpture that celebrates the life and accomplishments of Mary Trebing. In the context of Colorado’s 150th anniversary in 2026, this public art installation also aims to celebrate the diversity and rich cultural history of Louisville’s community.

The sculpture will be located outside in Louisville’s Memory Square Park near the Louisville Center for the Arts and Louisville Swimming Pool. Memory Square is a popular park for families and events, and we would like the sculpture to be in line with the purpose and character of the space.

Ucross strives to provide a respectful, comfortable, and productive environment, freeing artists from the pressures and distractions of daily life. Each year, we provide residencies to approximately 115 individuals. Residencies range from two weeks to six weeks in length. At any one time, there are up to ten individuals in residence, typically four writers, four visual artists, and two composers. Ucross provides each artist with living accommodations, meals, work space, and uninterrupted time so that the artists can focus on their creative process. Lunch and dinners are prepared Monday to Friday by a professional chef with ample provisions on hand for breakfasts and weekends. Lunches are delivered to individual studios; group dinners take place at 6 p.m. Towels and all linens are provided, as is weekly housekeeping for bedrooms. There is cell phone service and wireless internet throughout residency facilities. Residents are responsible for providing their own working materials and for their travel to Sheridan, Wyoming. There is no charge for a residency.

The Ucross Fellowship for Native American Artists supports the work of contemporary Native American visual artists, writers, and performers. Selected fellows receive a four-week residency that provides uninterrupted time for creative work, private studio space, living accommodations, meals prepared by a professional chef, a stipend, and the inspiring setting of the High Plains. Each fellowship also includes a $2,000 award and the opportunity to share work publicly through a featured exhibition in the Ucross Art Gallery, a reading, or a performance.

Established in 2018 with initial support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the fellowship began by serving Native American visual artists. In 2020, following the success of its first two years, Ucross received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to continue the program and expand it to include Native American writers. In 2024, additional NEA funding further extended the fellowship’s reach to support Native American performers, reflecting Ucross’s ongoing commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices across disciplines.

THE CROW SHOW 2026 is the celebratory 12th anniversary of the national exhibition of visual arts running February 20 - April 3, 2026, produced by The Studio Door. As we enter a new decade of this beloved exhibition, The Crow Show continues to showcase diverse artistic interpretations of our feathered neighbor, the Crow.

For over a decade, The Crow Show has been a celebrated tradition in San Diego, uniting artists from across the nation in a shared fascination with the enigmatic crow. Revered in cultures around the world, the crow has long been a symbol of mystery, transformation, and intelligence. Whether as a harbinger of change or a messenger of hope, these birds captivate our imaginations. This annual exhibition invites artists to explore the crow’s many faces—whether rooted in reality or soaring through the realms of fantasy. What does the crow embody for you? You're invited to share your unique vision [Creative interpretations of all black birds, ravens, and other Corvus species are welcome].

This exhibition celebrates the beauty, mystery, and significance of the microscopic, the miniature, and the overlooked. We invite works that magnify the unnoticed and reveal worlds within worlds.

Artists are encouraged to explore scale, detail, and viewpoint. Join us in remembering that even the tiniest details can hold vast meaning.

All media welcome. Please note that no giclée prints of original art/non-photographic art will be accepted. No AI please.
