We are looking for a local woodworker or artisan to create new tables and seating at the Granby Train Station!
As part of Colorado's 150th anniversary updates, we are looking for a talented creator to design and build custom, one-of-a-kind furnishings for the Granby Train Station interior!
We want to transform the center of the station from an empty space into a functional landmark. Instead of standard furniture, we are looking for works of art—either a set of common tables and seating or a series of benches—that draw inspiration from Granby’s historical, agricultural, or railroad roots.
Here are the quick details:
Project Budget: Up to $15,000 total
Location: Granby Train Station, Granby, CO
Submission Deadline: June 14, 2026
Ex*****on: Late summer / early fall 2026
What we are looking for:
Pieces must be tough, sturdy, and safe enough for a busy public transit environment. Think high-quality, commercial-grade materials like steel or heavy wood that can handle daily use, frequent cleaning, and modern travelers, while still feeling like a piece of history.
How to Apply:
Please email a brief proposal (PDF preferred) to [email protected] by June 14, 2026, including:
Artist Info: Name, Grand County address, phone, and email.
Experience: A summary of your furniture-building experience + 5 photos of past work.
Project Approach: Your vision for the design and how it fits the historical theme.
Timeline: Confirmation that you can complete the work by early fall 2026.
Budget: A brief breakdown of labor vs. materials.
Note: See the official listing for all the details including station dimensions and photos. www.granbyart.com/artists
