THE BIG PICTURE Colorado 2025 through 2027
Since 2004 the Big Picture has been mounting fine art photography images inside and out the door, down the alley and around the world.
The Big Picture is a biennial project whose mission is to connect the general public to fine art photography in open-air settings with large murals wheat-pasted on walls in public areas.
Images gathered from photographers around the world will be blown up and displayed inside exhibition spaces but primarily posted in public outdoor locations throughout Colorado and sister cities around the globe.
The Big Picture Colorado is going into its 20th year with the help of our ambassador's pasted up photographs in cities across the US including LA, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Boulder, Santa Fe, NYC and Brooklyn NY. Globally, Calgary Canada, Paris France and region, Bondi Australia, Venice Italy, Vienna Austria, Brussels Belgium, Berlin Germany, London England and region, Bulgaria, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Kingston Jamaica, Tbilisi Georgia and many more
No theme , Black and white and monotone photography is our preference but color is considered and growing. Any photo based multimedia such collage, alt process and computer renderings are welcome. Please state if it is AI generated.
A special thanks to our long partnership The Month of Photography Denver and the Colorado Photographic Arts Center
SUBMISSION
Through invitation and call for entry, the Big Picture team selects images from the submissions. We print and exhibit those photographers from countries around the world. Many regional photographer's work is sent abroad creating an international street art exchange. Seen inside galleries and museums and spilling out beautifying streets, alleys, backlots around Denver and sister cities and towns around the globe. The simple wheat paste process is remarkably weather resistant but generally lasts no more than a year.
