Store front with You Are Here poster with red art

Celebrate Art Lab through the years with one final hurrah!

Art Lab invites ALL artists, creatives, and makers to share their art with the community at this group retrospective show. Our dream is for a group show that highlights the 15+ years of culturally affirming co-designed community art.

Let’s celebrate the unique community-driven experiences that have contributed to Old Town Fort Collins’ identity and spaces. All Art Lab alumni are invited to celebrate the conclusion of Art Lab’s community event space with this retrospective exhibition and closing open house.

All art sales and remaining Art Lab funds will be distributed among the artists who participate in the show.

It’s our way of saying thank you for making Art Lab more than we could have imagined.

Exhibition: May 19 through 31, 2025

Open house: 5 to 9 p.m., Thursday, May 29

Art Lab Fort Collins, 239 Linden Street
