The APP program will use this list of artists for approximately two years. If you were accepted in 2024, you don’t need to reapply until 2026. Acceptance onto this list will not exclude the artist from submitting and being selected for other City of Fort Collins’s APP Projects. Deadline May 27, 2025 by 5:00 pm.
