The Museum of Art Fort Collins will open two new exhibitions on June 26, 2026: 'A Celebration of Colorado' and 'On the Plains' by Patrick Dunford. The juried group show features 65 artists from Larimer and Weld Counties, selected by juror Beth Venn from 780 submissions. Dunford's solo exhibition presents oil paintings inspired by the agricultural landscapes of the Red River Valley, curated by the collaborative Dinghy Rig.
These exhibitions highlight the museum's commitment to showcasing regional artistic talent and fostering community engagement in Northern Colorado. The juried show provides a platform for local artists across diverse media, while Dunford's work draws attention to overlooked rural and industrial spaces, offering a fresh perspective on the American Plains. The partnership with Dinghy Rig also underscores the museum's support for artist-run initiatives.
