There are so many open calls for art right now for the new rec center! Visit the Grand Junction Parks and Recreation page to view them all!

🎨 One last call to all local artists! The City of Grand Junction and the Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture are seeking an artist to create an original piece of artwork to be part of the Recognition Wall at the new Community Recreation Center (CRC). Since the Recognition Wall will continue to grow each year, the artwork should be flexible to allow additional names to be added over time. The design should also incorporate the design threads and color palette included in the site details of the call.

📅 Entry deadline: 2/22/2026
