The Montrose Center for Arts is proud to display artwork from a wide range of people with different social and ethnic backgrounds. Let these talented artists share their vision in Pride 2026. This show features the artwork by the LGBTQ+ community and Allies on the Western Slope.

Our sponsors for the event are Lynn Whipple with The Mortgage Link, Jack the Clipper and Hot Tubs of Montrose. 

The judge for the exhibit is Emma Kalff. Emma’s artistic work is a distillation of her everyday life after memory, emotion, and dreams have had their way with it. She lives and works in Ridgway, Colorado. Kalff was classically trained in oil painting under American realist painter Auseklis Ozols at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. 

Prizes include:

• Theme Award
• Judge's Selection Award
