Celebrate the Greeley Arts Picnic
Part of Culture Pop weekend, the Greeley Arts Picinic is a FREE two-day event that includes more than 150 artists and crafters booths, food trucks, kid's activities, a beer tent and two stages to include 14 total performances.
Shop for handmade treasures, enjoy the food court, beer garden and live entertainment! Be sure to check out the Creation Station tent for children and so much more!
This year's poster design was created by Samuel Dog Saul, a multimedia artist who is also Professor of Graphic Design at The School of Art and Design at UNC. Dong Saul describes his inspiration for the design, "each circle represents an individual point of presence, yet none exist in isolation; as they grow and intersect, they reveal a shared structure that holds them together." Much like the community in Greeley!
Limited T-shirts and swag with the 2026 design will be available for purchase at the Arts Picnic!
