In December 2021, Colorado Springs City Parks partnered with the Golden Lotus Foundation (GLF) and acquired 8.48 acres former Stratton land/PEO Chapter House at 1819 W Cheyenne Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 designated by the Colorado Springs City Council as The Asian Heritage Center. This is a lovely place already used on a limited basis but funds are needed to ensure the vision, to include asian gardens and a tea house, is realized. This art exhibition and sale is to raise funds to ensure the wonderful lily pond that artists have enjoyed painting for years is maintained and accessible to the public. This will be an online only show and juried competition. Reproduction of artwork images for all entries in this contest may be used by the Asian Heritage Center/Golden Lotus Foundation without further consent of or notification to the artist or the artist’s agent for promotion and fund raising.
