Call for Artist Vendor Applications –
Palmer Lake Arts Fest
July 25–26, Palmer Lake, CO
The Palmer Lake Arts Council invites regional artists to apply for vendor space at Arts Fest 2026. This two‑day event highlights original, high‑quality artwork and provides artists with an opportunity to engage with the public, promote their work, and contribute to a growing cultural tradition in our community.
Artists working in all disciplines—including painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, fiber arts, jewelry, metalwork, woodwork, and mixed media—are encouraged to apply. All work must be original and designed and crafted by the artist. There is no booth fee for participation, but artists are required to supply their own tent (10X10). All spaces are outside, on lawn with no electricity available. In accordance with town requirements, all vendors must obtain a $25 Peddler’s License from the Town of Palmer Lake (https://www.townofpalmerlake.com/administration/page/business). Applicants must submit 4 digital images of their work.
Spaces are free but limited, so apply soon and join us for a weekend of creativity, community, and Colorado sunshine! We look forward to showcasing the exceptional talent of our local and regional arts community at this year’s Arts Fest.
