About Our Gallery

MISSION STATEMENT:
The Carbondale Arts Gallery is an exhibition space dedicated to amplifying and nurturing diverse artistic voices that engage and stimulate our community.

VISION STATEMENTS:
The Carbondale Arts gallery strives to provide a platform for creatives in order to serve and enrich the Roaring Fork Valley community. Though exhibiting local artists is a priority, we recognize the value in cultivating connections with regional and national-based artists as well.

• We appreciate the innate capacity and inherent ability of art to naturally elicit deeper conversations, something we value highly and encourage featured artists of the Carbondale Arts Gallery to consider.

The Carbondale Arts gallery is located inside The Launchpad at 76 S. 4th Street, in the heart of the Carbondale Creative District. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Fridays 10am-5pm.

Exhibition Proposals

Do you have an idea for an art exhibition? Carbondale Arts is always looking for fresh inspiration and new artists! We host art exhibitions featuring local and regional artists at The Launchpad in our award-winning gallery. The majority of our shows run from 4-5 weeks at a time and are invitational, juried, or open call. Exhibitions in the Carbondale Arts Gallery are planned a year in advance.

Proposal applications for 2026 are now closed. Applications for the 2027 calendar year will become available in early 2026. Email questions to brian@carbondalearts.com.

• We acknowledge that an exhibition may be determined “successful” in a variety of ways (the sale-ability of artwork is only one), and Carbondale Arts prioritizes community engagement and creative risk taking.

• Because there are few spaces within the Roaring Fork Valley in which to showcase artwork, we consider the Carbondale Arts Gallery a unique opportunity for emerging and established creatives alike to express themselves through a variety of concepts and media.
