Copper Village invites you to apply to be one of the artists at the 2013 Copper Country Arts Festival held at Copper Mountain Resort. This full‐scale weekend long festival brings together the country's best music, exceptional exhibitions/sales of art, Western activities and entertainment, and unique traditions of the American spirit. Now in its eigth year, Copper Country has not only created a great name for itself it has become tradition. In past years, Copper Country has had nationally acclaimed musicians such as Lyle Lovett, Big & Rich, The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, Vince Gill, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. For 2013, the Copper Country Arts Festival is committed to showcasing Western art in all its forms, from traditional cowboy pieces, to contemporary, abstract visions rooted in, but not necessarily representative of, the western landscape.

We try to limit the number of very similar artists, in order to create a variety for our guests, and more business for our artists. We do already have several jewelry artists already exhibiting this year, so the jewelry category is closed to new applicants. Thank you for your interest!
