High Peaks Art Festival
8236 Feet Above the Ordinary
The 20th Annual High Peaks Art Festival, on the weekend of July 26, 2025, invites you to exhibit at or sponsor this year’s 20th Anniversary artisan show. The focus of this friendly, outdoor show is an exhibition of fine arts and crafts in a beautiful mountain setting. Organizers will focus marketing efforts on drawing the art connoisseur from Colorado’s front range and surrounding mountain towns to gather for a weekend celebration of fine art and contemporary craft.

Glimpse of High Peaks Art Festival Artists over the years…
Mixed Media
Mike Moore has won Best of Mixed Media at our show for Flint Knapping – the age-old art of making arrowheads and other edged stone tools. Hunter-gatherers relied upon this skill to create tools and hunting implements.
Enamel&Silver
“Home is Where the
Heart Is”
Julie Glassman has won many awards for her enamels and sterling silver pieces. She is a festival favorite with her cloisonne enamel pieces that are like miniature paintings! She returns to our event each year, the only juried art festival she participates in across the Front Range.
Photography
Denver photographer Roger Doak has exhibited at the Festival for over 10 years and has won Best of Photography and Best of Fine Art here, “My goal is to capture images that engage the viewer’s eye and create emotion”
