The Durango Creative District is excited to announce a show highlighting the faces of the artistic community here in Durango and the surrounding regions. The DCD’s Portrait Lotto is an artist-based, community-oriented portrait show on view from July 16th - September 10th at Stillwater Music.

The exhibit allows artists to make new connections and relationships through meeting other artists. Each participant will be in direct contact with two artists, one as the subject of the portrait and one to create a portrait of. The experience invites connection and collaboration, as pairs are encouraged to meet beforehand to share their work, background, styles, and more. This collaborative show will introduce artists who likely have not had previous interaction, while building a community exhibit highlighting the artistic talents and faces of the Durango community.
