Celebrate some of Denver's top emergent, creative voices at this second annual Rough Gems Program closing party!

Join us on Earth Day during the finale of the third Rough Gems exhibition, Against Nature, to show love and gratitude to all the curators, artists, and community members who have worked hard over the past few months to bring three back-to-back art exhibitions to life. We at Union Hall are excited to continue sustainably building the Rough Gems Curatorial Program for many years to come!

Rough Gems reflects our commitment to the advancement of emerging voices within curatorial practice. The program supports local, emerging curators and artists by providing equitable stipends, mentorship, and networking opportunities, while diversifying the voices responsible for exhibition-making.
