Reuman Award

Open Studios will once again be presenting the Reuman Award ($4,000 award) at the 2016 Open Studios Tour Preview on September 30.  This award is given in memory of Scott Campbell Reuman, who was a highly creative and accomplished local artist. An engineer by training and an artist by nature, Scott constantly pushed the limits of his art; he explored combining LED lighting into flowing cut stone work, developed a new metal lamination technique used in sculpture, and even created a whole new sub-genre of furniture making using sinuous wood cuts enhanced with colored resin. The results were outstanding and remarkably innovative.

The Reuman Award will be presented to a Boulder County/Denver Metro area visual artist whose work, like Scott's, further advances new possibilities in art. 

The award will be based on some but not necessarily all of the following:

• innovations in technique 

• new uses of materials

• incorporation of technology into art

​

Interested in applying for the Reuman Award? 

Show us or tell us something new about how you create art, and you will automatically be included in the pool of applicants. Remember, we're just looking for something that you do that is new, or different, and is art.

To apply please send a brief narrative and a picture or two of your work to matt@openstudios.org

In your email, please explain to us how your work meets any of the criteria of the Reuman Award. Who knows, come September 30th you could have $4000 more to your name.
