Rough Gems is an annual collaborative curatorial training program that showcases the work of three Denver-area curators or curatorial teams. Now in its eighth year, each team receives financial support, mentorship, and access to Union Hall’s space, budget, and resources in order to create a six-week exhibition, alongside community-facing programming and public engagement opportunities.
