Supporting Artists
The Arts and Crafts program is dedicated to breaking down barriers to art opportunities. To create greater access, individual artists who have never participated in the Colorado College art fair before and find the booth fee a barrier to their participation are eligible to pay what you can.

This is a trust-based system, and we ask that you support this initative and hold space for those who truly need this option to participate. This would provide the artist a 3'x6' table. There are limited number of spaces available, and we may not be able to accomodate all requests.
Only complete this if you would like to apply to the pay what you can booth. If applying for this please complete the following:
