Local artists showcase creativity on a small scale in 3×3: A Micro Art Festival
The Greeley Creative Arts Center will present 3×3: A Micro Art Festival, a unique exhibition celebrating the idea that meaningful art does not require monumental scale. Featuring works by local artists, the exhibition will be on display from July 3-26, inviting visitors to explore how creativity, storytelling and craftsmanship can flourish within a compact format. Whether whimsical, refined, experimental or deeply personal, this exhibition
embraces the concepts of accessibility and collectibility while highlighting the ingenuity that emerges when scale is intentionally limited.
The exhibition will culminate with a public reception and silent auction fundraiser on Saturday, July 25, benefiting the Greeley Creative District, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting arts and culture throughout the community. Proceeds from artwork sales will directly fund future exhibitions, public programs and creative initiatives across Greeley.
The reception will be held from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, July 25, at the Greeley Creative Arts Center. Silent auction bidding will begin at noon, when the gallery opens, and will close promptly at 5 p.m. The exhibition, silent auction and reception are free and open to the public.
The reception will feature live performances by local artists Troupe Sidysaan, a trans-cultural fusion dance group from 3:15-3:30 p.m., and Valerie Vampola, a Northern Colorado-based vocalist and pianist who specializes in jazz and pop from 3:45-4:45 p.m. Complimentary small bites, lemonade and water will be available for guests during the event.
3×3: A Micro Art Festival offers community members an opportunity to discover original local artwork, support regional artists and contribute to the continued growth of arts and culture in Greeley. It is part of the City of Greeley’s Culture Pop celebration taking place Thursday, July 23, through Sunday, July 26, encompassing Arts Picnic weekend.
