Monuments & Canyons
An Exhibition Featuring Artists’ Works from the Monument & Canyons Plein Air Event
March 4 – April 9

The Colorado National Monument Association and The Art Center of Western Colorado present the Monuments and Canyons Exhibition of Art. The display follows the Monuments and Canyons Plein Air event held in October 2021, where selected participants from all over the nation came to take in the region’s stunning landscape and capture its beauty through color and form. After the event, participating artists returned to their studios to further develop the works painted or inspired during their experience at the Monuments and Canyons event. This exhibition is a rare glimpse into the wonder of plein air painting and its culture.

This exhibition showcases the drama and beauty of the incredible public lands surrounding the southwestern natural boundary of the Grand Valley consisting of Colorado National Monument and the adjacent BLM lands.
