BMoCA and Stories on Stage present an evening of storytelling about done-me-wrongs and broken hearts. Stories will be crowd-sourced from our community and performed by Stories on Stage. To participate, contribute your story, be it happy, sad, humorous or ridiculous, to stories@bmoca.org or drop it off at BMoCA between February 14 – April 28. Selected stories will be read at the event. Word maximum: 800.

This program is in partnership with Stories on Stage and Mocavo.

Spring Distribution Event

CSArt Colorado will host three art distribution events throughout 2013. At the events shareholders meet the artists and pick up their art. Distribution events will be exciting occasions for shareholders and artists to connect.

The spring pick up event will be held at the Denver Botanic Gardens May 16. At the event, shareholders will collect three of the works of art in their CSArt share. Shareholders will enjoy meeting the artists and mingling with fellow art-lovers on the Gardens’ west terrace, which overlooks a pool boasting plants and public art. Patrons will have the opportunity to eat, drink, and catch a first glimpse of Catalyst, an outdoor sculpture exhibition featuring Colorado artists, before heading home with the first group of artworks for their collection. For an invitation to this event, please purchase a CSArt Colorado share here.

About CSArt Colorado

Denver Botanic Gardens and Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art are proud to present Community Supported Art Colorado (CSArt Colorado). Through a buy-local, share-based membership, CSArt Colorado brings artists and art lovers together. Selected by curators from Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Denver Botanic Gardens, the featured artworks will be in a range of media and allow for people to easily discover artists.

How does the Community Supported Art Colorado (CSArt Colorado) program work?
Following the popular community supported agriculture (CSA) model, a limited number of shares will be available for sale. Each shareholder receives three distributions of art per year at seasonal distribution events, where artists and collectors meet and mingle. In each distribution shareholders will receive 3 works.

Can I choose my preferred art medium?
In short, no. Just as community supported agriculture programs support the local economy by sharing risk with the local food producer, this supports local artists and offers them a chance to try new things on a smaller scale. Most importantly, shareholders have the chance to meet and talk with the artists who made their fabulous items.

How do I get my artwork?
Distribution parties, complete with art, artists, food and music make it fun to interact with like-minded (and not so like-minded) people.

How can I become a participating artist?
Artist applications are now closed for the 2013 season.

I want to buy a share.
