Featuring high quality artwork, a friendly atmosphere, a gorgeous setting adjacent to Clear Creek, and lots of complimentary and lively activities happening throughout downtown Golden, the Golden Fine Arts Festival is a summertime favorite for both locals and visitors alike. The Festival is a juried show and features more than 130 artists in a variety of media, including ceramic arts, fiber arts, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture and 2D.

Prizes will be awarded to artists in these nine categories and cash awards total more than $1,800. The Festival is sponsored by the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s featured artwork is titled Survivors by Carolyn Miller, and will be featured on the commemorative poster for sale at the Festival. Carolyn is a Denver artist, which is appropriate since a majority of artists at this year’s show are from Colorado. Booths are staffed by the artists themselves so be sure to say hello.

There is no admission fee and the Festival features live music and horse-drawn carriage rides through historic Golden. For younger art lovers, be sure to check out the ArtReach Kids Art Zone.

Be sure to take the time to stroll downtown Golden and enjoy the summer.
