What is Masks?

Masks is the signature fundraising and community art event at the Museum of Art Fort Collins. Its primary purpose is to raise funds that will contribute substantially to the support of the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs by engaging the community in a unique, approachable, diverse and creative art experience. For twenty years, the Museum of Art Fort Collins, has hosted Masks, an extraordinary community art project. Over the past twenty years, 3,500 Masks have been created and over 2 million raised by this extraordinary fundraiser and community art project.

Each year, over 200 plus artists and community members apply their creative talents to creating works of art that comprise each fundraising exhibition. Each year has been an exciting journey as the unadorned ceramic forms leave the museum returning as an amazing collection of creative and diverse masks in all mediums. 

• There will be five forms that will be assigned randomly
• Half the show will be an invitational and the other half a lottery
• 20 masks will be set aside for schools and community groups/nonprofits
