We believe the cultural arts improve understanding, diversity and quality of life.

For more than two decades, the Longmont Council for the Arts has brought quality cultural and artistic programs to Longmont and the St. Vrain Valley. The LCA provides an array of services to artists and cultural arts organizations, including administrative support, grant writing services, fundraising, marketing and promotion, education and community outreach.

LCA programs include all of the major arts disciplines: visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, and art education. Some of the LCA’s programs have matured into independent non-profit organizations. For example, Art in Public Places is now run by the City of Longmont; ArtWalk was originated by the LCA and later adopted by the Old Firehouse Arts Center. In a collaborative effort with The Art Studio, Inc., the Longmont Council for the Arts developed the Old Firehouse Art Center.

Call for Artists 2010

The Muse Gallery features a co-op exhibition space of local artists and the WESTend, a special exhibition space.  The WESTend is designed for themed & guest exhibitions.  The space can handle 10 -15 2-dimensional work and/or 10 3-dimensional pieces.  Proposals can be for solo or group exhibitions.  We are looking for proposals that are “outside the box” and expand our communities viewing experience. 

The Deadline is October 23, 2009
