Ashes to Art Project 2021

The Ashes to Art Project, founded in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2012, is a way for the creative community to support those who worked to protect the homes, lives and families during the most devastating series of fires in Colorado history.

Artists donate submissions created with charcoal from the wildfire. All mediums will be accepted; we kindly ask you incorporate the charcoal in the piece. No restrictions on your submissions. 2D and 3D will be accepted.
Artwork will be sold in an online auction to help fund the financially devastated volunteer fire departments that worked to contain and extinguish the wildfires that burned throughout Colorado in 2020.

ABOUT THE FIRES
In 2020 fires raged across the state of Colorado, causing devastation never seen before in the state. Between the Cameron Peak, East Troublesome, Mullen and Pine Gulch fires, more than 700,000 acres burned across seven counties in Colorado. The Cameron Peak fire burned from August 13 until December 2, 2020, and covered 208,913 acres.

These fires and others during the record-breaking 2020 wildfire season caused an immense amount of damage to homes and wild lands, and required nationwide resources and support to control.
