Summer Art Show 2026
- Call to Artists
Enjoying the warm weather and peaceful surroundings of the Pikes Peak region, this Summer Art Show is being held at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center in Colorado Springs. The show runs throughout the month of August and is one of the Palmer Lake Art Group’s flagship exhibits with a gallery full of colorful artwork reflecting the local surroundings and favored pieces. We will be showing a diversity of traditional and contemporary pieces from emerging artists to the aspirational works of our well-established members and guest artists mentoring and guiding the exhibition’s success!
Palmer Lake Art Group Hosts and Co-Chairs Kathryn Capp, Susie Arnold and Anne Dye lead artists throughout the monthlong event in creating opportunities to share their interests, comradery and distinct talents as they curate and install the artworks.
