Skyscapes
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is proud to present a juried exhibition for the month of April, composed of artists from across the Pikes Peak region and beyond.SKYSCAPES asked artists to consider the delight that is our sky, and it’s ever-changing constant presence that mirrors any mood. Heavy gray mornings may crumble to snow, or crack into warmth at noon. It may be shrouded by fire, clouded by smoke, or clear as a church bell at noon.For this call we are asked artists for their interpretation of our sky in any form or size.
