FIRST FRIDAY | Montezuma Mutts Calendar Release Party

Who let the dogs out? You! You!

It's First Friday in Cortez and now you get to see how it all turned out and which Montezuma Mutt made the cover.

$5 from each calendar sale from NOW through this night will benefit For Pets' Sake Humane Society, a group of volunteers who work to improve the lives of companion animals in Montezuma & Dolores Counties, Colorado.

Free "doggie bag" with purchase while supplies last - some will include a token for a free calendar! We encourage you to wear your favorite doggy digs and we'll provide a fun mask to complete your outfit. Your well-behaved, furry friends are welcome, too. Complimentary ZU-mosas and snacks!

Thank you to our advertisers!

INSIDERS

Cheap Art Challenge #2

We are making plans for another challenge event with a different medium and theme. We are also considering another "community" pop-up but are waiting to hear on a grant to help us fund those larger events.

$1000 Creative Grant

We have been working behind the scenes the last few months to launch a new program. We get to help give a $1K Creative Grant to someone in Cortez EVERY MONTH...with your help! But first, the LOR Foundation has agreed to help launch the program and fund the grant program for the first 12 grants to give us time to create a perpetual program that is funded beyond their help! Interested in applying with your creative idea? Interested in serving as a Trustee and choosing the grantees?

Let your ideas

take-off!

48 Hour Film Project

The premise? Filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film. All creativity—writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack—must occur in a 48 hour window beginning Friday evening at 7:00pm and ending Sunday at 7:00pm.

And thanks to ZU artist, Tim O'Brien, we formed a team called ZU Ma Film!

Though it didn't win any awards, we were happy to have completed the project within the provided parameters.

We were given our genre choices (Legal or Romance) and required elements at 7pm on Friday and then we made up every single thing after that.

Accepting Artists

We will continue to accept Artist Inquiries on an on-going basis and are still reviewing current submissions for possible inclusion. Thank you for your patience.

Please complete this form to be considered for an artist opening at ZU Gallery in Cortez, CO. We are not accepting walk-ins or appointments at this time and respectfully request that you complete this form first before any additional consideration. https://zugallery.com/submit/

HELPERS

Adopt-A-Chair

$250

These funds help us add technology to our meeting space, help makers start a class and help us offset the cost of community pop-ups. A special sign made just for you and permanently attached to the back of one of our chairs.
