First come first served, lightly juried.

The Pagosa Arts Initiative is soliciting original art from Pagosa artists to feature in our new 2022 Calendar. The calendar will serve as a means to promote the Pagosa Arts Initiative and our mission to empower the local arts and artists. Calendars will be promoted and sold to the community and local businesses as a means of fundraising for future PAI initiatives. Information about each artist will be included and contact information (if desired) to promote the artist work.

Artists are free to submit their visual art (paintings, sketches, photography, graphic design, photographs of performing artists, etc.).

Specifications

Artists are encouraged to be original and creative. Please note that this request is for a digital copy of the image. However, we can assist in providing high-quality images for final print.

Images should be 300 dpi at 100% of size submitted in .jpg or .tiff file formats. 200-300 PPI is the preferred resolution for press-quality printing. Submissions should be submitted to this link.

Deadlines and dates:

Deadline for submissions is November 12, 2021. Artists will be notified the following week.

Once all submissions have been received, the PAI Calendar committee will select 12 artists for feature month pages.

Calendars will be available in December.
