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

Whimsy

April 5-29, 2019

Featuring art by:
Madalyn Kae
Ramona Lapsley
Nancy Morse 
Robin Scappaticci

We love when we get to showcase art by Manitou Art Center artists. This show features potters Madalyn Kae and Robin Scappaticci, sculptor and figure artist Nancy Morse, and printmaker Ramona Lapsley. Together they will fill our gallery space with whimsical and colorful art to delight the eye and the imagination.
 
Madalyn has established a reputation of brightly colored birds, animals, and ladies with her pottery.
 
Robin’s lacy, colorful tableware is always a popular feature in our gallery shows.
 
Nancy Morse will be sharing her figurative drawings, paintings, and sculptural and functional ceramic work.
 
Ramona Lapsley’s prints reflect her interest in natural forms. Sometimes those forms are literal and at other times they are more metaphorical.
