2020 National Fine Art Show
September 2—September 7
The 2020 National Fine Arts Show and Sale takes place in Louisville, Colorado, a beautiful historic city on Colorado’s Front Range.

The venue is the Louisville Center for the Arts, an elegant, late 19th century, red brick schoolhouse. This historic venue offers participating artists the opportunity to display their work in a beautiful light-filled gallery setting. The show runs for six days from 9/2/2020 through 9/7/2020.

Our Judge is Crystal Despain, noted portrait artist and painter from Windsor, Colorado.

We invite you to enter what is sure to be our most successful show yet!

Historic Downtown Louisville offers an array of art galleries, related shops, businesses, restaurants and cafes. The National Fine Art Show is held in conjunction with the three-day Louisville Labor Day weekend event.

About our JUDGE:

Crystal Despain 
​Whether in the delicate blush of a cheek or the curious turn of a line, oil painter Crystal Despain is drawn to the intrinsic beauty and ethereal spark of her subjects. 
“I’m seeking to find that place where whimsy and life connect. I believe that is where an artist is both child and master, where art is both a celebration and a silence. 
This is where the artist has lost nothing in the life of a thing, but has instead given the subject new significance.”
She describes the artist’s experience as “a lifelong journey that requires joy in slow becomings, and a genuine hunger for mastery.”
​Crystal lives in Colorado with her husband, 5 young sons, and sole female companion, a whippet named Indie.
