Artist Co-op
Established 1974

Welcome to the Commonwheel Artists Co-op, where local Colorado artists offer examples of their creativity in our sales shop.

Since the gallery began in 1974, our mission has been to promote the arts in the Pikes Peak Region. Today our collective energy is focused on our extensive shop, gallery events, and our annual Labor Day Arts and Crafts Festival. We sell wall art, jewelry, glass, pottery, sculptures and clothing.

Commonwheel Artists Co-op has been recognized as a significant resource in the arts community by various groups, including the Pikes Peak Arts Council and the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce.

All the wall art, jewelry, glass, pottery, sculpture and clothing exhibited in our charming gallery is made by Colorado artists. You can be assured of selecting unique handmade gifts of art objects for your personal enjoyment.

Our Current Gallery Show

Responding To Climate Change
On Hold

artist of the month

Manitou Springs Art Council (MSAC) will curate a gallery exhibition in March of 2020 to be held at the Commonwheel Artists Co-op Gallery in Manitou Springs.

Climate change is one of the topics that makes people want to turn off and disengage. It shouldn’t be that way. So, what can ART do?

Sometimes, you need more than just the facts and data to really bring home the reality of the impeding climate crisis. You need to make an emotional connection – and what better way to do it than through the power of ART?
With that thought in mind, the Manitou Springs Arts Council (MSAC) has invited artists to use their talents to create art around the theme of the climate crisis and frame it in ways that result in emotional, beautiful, and stirring images. This gallery show offers a chance to use art to create an emotional story that can inspire people to promote environmental awareness. During the month of March artists will be able to share this message and ignite a passion to help prevent further environmental damage.

We find what we pursue. An addictive thing about painting is that I can redefine a view of the world – and if only briefly, I get to live in that world. It’s a shifting, lost-and-found kind of Truth - any definition is fragmentary and has no limits. The only limit is what I see or don’t see at the moment, and that changes with time and history. Of interest to me is the function of current events, which often invigorates previous pieces with new layers of meaning. As my work evolves, I like to think that it reflects the charged rhythms, vibrations and energy – the very magic of our universe and our participation in the creative process.
