RIDING THE RANGE: A SADDLE STORY
This is the second annual bike-themed exhibition, coinciding with the Gunnison Growler Bike Race. The show explores the shared use of land by mountain bikers and ranchers in the Gunnison Valley, where leather saddles symbolize a link between two distinct worlds. Cyclists traverse rugged trails that ranchers work, and many ranches open their lands to the public, fostering engagement with the valley’s unique terrain. Through mutual respect and practical cooperation, bikers and ranchers balance recreation and tradition on the same ground.
Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme loosely. We welcome submissions from:
Visual artists with bike-related work.
Leatherworkers and artisans creating saddle-inspired or range-related pieces.
Makers of handmade tools reflecting the spirit of the open range.
Solo Exhibitions
Solo & Group Exhibition Opportunities are currently closed but we are accepting applications for our waiting list.
To Apply Please have your Artist Statement, an Exhibition Narrative, and 5-10 images.
Artists may apply for multiple gallery spaces in one month but will not be awarded multiple spaces in different months.
A solo exhibit does not disqualify an artist from participating in any group exhibition opportunities.
