Background:
In 2026 Colorado celebrates its 150th anniversary of statehood and America is celebrating 250 years since signing the Declaration of Independence.

Statewide efforts are being led by the America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission , and communities across Colorado are planning celebrations.
Project description:
The Colorado 150 Tapestry project is a work of textile art to be commissioned by a private family foundation in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Colorado statehood.

This artwork will focus on what makes Colorado special and unique, including representations of the diversity of land, people and places within the state and will include recent history and contemporary historical Colorado figures. The piece may complement existing publicly displayed works of art celebrating Colorado’s history, such as the Colorado Women’s Gold tapestry that was developed for the 100th anniversary of Colorado statehood and displayed in the Colorado State Capitol.
The piece may culminate in a permanent display in a public location. The project may include community participation events throughout its production, interpretation, narration and storytelling produced alongside the art to accompany the piece in both written and other forms for exhibition throughout the state. This ambitious initiative requires strong leadership to target successful delivery by December 2026.
