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

With Brave Wings She Flies

August 2-September 2, 2019
open 10 am-8 pm daily
Reception: Fri, August 2
5-8pm

Wings are the symbol of lightness, spirituality, the possibility of flight, and rising to the heavens. They also represent the aspiration to transcend the human condition and can be associated with imagination, freedom, and triumph.

Through painting, ceramic, glass, and jewelry this show exemplifies the desire of women to rise above life’s challenges and her inner self’s need to conquer adversity.

With Brave Wings She Flies incorporates paintings by Jean Cuchiaro, ceramics by Maggie Quinn, glass kaleidoscopes by Nancy Lindenmier, and jewelry by Evelina Stoyanova. These four women will fill our gallery with artistic expressions of triumph, flight, and freedom.
