NoBo 2026 Member Show: 120 Local Artists
Every year, the NoBo Member Show brings together the artists who shape the energy and identity of North Boulder. In 2026, that community shows up in a big way.
This year’s exhibition features 120 local artists, making it our largest Member Show to date, and runs April 3–24 during Boulder Arts Week. Spanning both the Bus Stop Gallery and the NoBo Art Center, the show takes over two galleries to create one connected experience.
It’s not just a group show. It’s a snapshot of Boulder’s creative community.

Exhibition Statement
The NoBo Art District Member Exhibition reflects a creative community built on access, participation, and shared space.
Bringing together artists across disciplines and stages of practice, this exhibition honors a wide range of expression—from sculpture to painting, ceramics to kinetic and experimental work. There is no single path that defines belonging here—only a shared commitment to making and showing.
This year, the exhibition expands across two gallery spaces, thoughtfully shaped to hold the growing NoBo community. These spaces are connected in purpose, each contributing to a larger, unified experience.
All are welcome here—across identities, backgrounds, and creative journeys.
Individually, each work stands on its own. Collectively, they form something greater: a district shaped by many voices.
The Artists Behind NoBo
The NoBo Member Show has always been about access and inclusion. As a non-juried exhibition, every NoBo Artist Member has the opportunity to participate. The result is a wide range of work across mediums, perspectives, and experience levels.
This year, the show expands across two galleries for the first time—giving more artists space to be seen and giving visitors more to explore. What makes this show special isn’t just the number of artists—it’s what they represent.
These are the people teaching classes, opening their studios, showing up for First Fridays, and building the creative fabric of NoBo Art District. It’s a chance to see familiar names alongside artists you’re discovering for the first time. To experience the range of what’s being made right here in Boulder, right now.
Supporting Artists, Sustaining Community
At its core, the Member Show is about creating opportunity. All work in the exhibition is available for purchase, connecting artists directly with collectors and community members. For many artists, this show is an entry point for new audiences, new relationships, and future exhibitions.
For visitors, it’s a rare chance to engage with a large cross-section of local artists in one place.
The Member Show also serves as an important fundraiser for NoBo Art District. All artwork in the exhibition is available for purchase through an online auction. Visitors can register to bid either in person at the gallery or online. Proceeds support both the participating artists and NoBo’s year-round programming, helping sustain exhibitions, events, and opportunities for the creative community.
The People’s Choice Award
The People’s Choice Award returns, giving visitors a simple way to support artists while engaging with the exhibition.
For $1 per vote, community members can cast their vote by donating through NoBo’s People Choice Award Campaign on Give Butter and naming their favorite artist in the “Give in honor/memory” field. The winning artist will receive a solo pop-up exhibition in one of NoBo’s gallery spaces.
