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.
