Description:
We are calling in small, yet special works for a Younger Generation Artist show at the Gallery at the Bus Stop Apartments. We are tapping into the creativity of the inspired youth in the Boulder area, and are looking to collaborate with Boulder Based Art instructors. We are inviting young, inspired and innovative artists from their student groups to show 1-3 existing artworks of any media. This show is open to all college students, high school and middle school students in Boulder County schools. It’s our hope, at NoBo galleries, that this exhibition experience will provide a learning platform for young artists who are looking for creative experience in preparing your work for hanging, installation, pricing, marketing and interacting with potential patrons.
