2025 marks the fifth year of Center for the Arts Evergreen’s annual teen show. We’ve dealt with separation and uncertainty, reuniting and rebuilding, things that define teens, and now, we’re on our teenagers’ LORE. In 2024, LORE is defined as “backstory, narrative or personal information.” Center for the Arts Evergreen’s (CAE) teen exhibition, LORE, seeks artwork that tells the story of today’s teens. LORE will serve as a platform for others to celebrate today’s teenagers through their art and inspiration and personal stories.

LORE welcomes students aged 13-18 in public, private, or home school to enter one piece of original artwork using the form below. There is no entry fee for this competition and there are awards given for First Place ($200), Second Place ($150), and Third Place ($100).

Sculpture Evergreen became a part of Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) on January 1, 2023. Over the years, Sculpture Evergreen created a highly respected program of public art acquisition to beautify open spaces and public buildings in Evergreen, CO, in the foothills west of Denver. A critical component of Sculpture Evergreen’s mission was the annual Sculpture Walk, and CAE is proud to continue this legacy.

Initiated in 1999, this is a juried exhibition of up to 16 large sculptures suitable for OUTDOOR DISPLAY. All works must be original. A stipend of $1,200 will be awarded for each accepted sculpture. In addition, there is a Juried Award of $1,000 for artistic excellence. Sculptures will be on display for 1 year until June 7, 2026.

Sculptures will be installed on Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7, 2025. Artists must be present for their installation. Artists must also be present for the deinstallation during the first week of June 2026. CAE shall make reasonable efforts to sell the art during the Sculpture Walk.
