Our Story
Denver-based, multidisciplinary & artist run since 2015. Stain’d Arts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit curating paid platforms for literary, visual and performative artists working outside of the dominant narrative.
We believe art which disrupts unexamined beliefs is art doing its best work in society. This approach asks of us as arts curators to strive to elevate voices and artists whose work is not typically seen in the mainstream consumption of art and culture. In search of work that defamiliarizes.
::Defamiliarization—an artistic technique which enhances an audience's perception of the familiar by subverting held beliefs.
