BLDG 61: Boulder Library Makerspace

The maker movement represents the collective energy and ambition of a community of inventors, designers, engineers, artists, craftspeople and tinkerers. Crafted in home studios, garages and local makerspaces, the work of these individuals stirs our imagination and provides a glimpse of what we can achieve as a culture of creators.

Work for Maker Made 2024 will be selected with a strong preference for crafts and disciplines that are visible in our makerspaces, BLDG 61 and Studio 24. These include electronics, 3D printed materials, laser cut and CNC work, fiber and textile pieces, interactive digital work, screen printing, metalworking and woodworking.

Important dates:  

Art submissions will be accepted until July 21st and you will be notified of acceptance and which artworks were chosen to display by July 31st.  

Maker Made will open September 3rd – November 13th.  

Art drop-off in Canyon Gallery at Main: Thursday, August 29th from 3-7pm.

Art pick-up in Canyon Gallery at Main: Thursday November 14th from 1-6pm.
