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

Transformation

March 16 - April 16

“Transformation” is a gallery show that looks at the journey of three local artists and the materials they use in their creative process.
 
Julia L. Wright, long known for her feather masks and jewelry, has been expanding her artistic palette to incorporate nature photography. As she hikes she takes images along the trail. Then back at home she transforms those photos into kaleidoscopic digital art.
 
Jerry Rhodes starts with clay and transforms it into dramatic vessels and sculptures. His raku work incorporates disparate concepts and elements drawn from a global, temporal, and cultural palate into harmonious designs.
 
Ace McCasland’s jewelry has a rustic, eclectic, industrial feel and for this show she is considering how seeds transform into plants as diverse as grass and trees. Using ancient metal-smith techniques she strives to create modern, one-of-a-kind designs.
 
Join us for both of our evening receptions: March 16 and April 6, 5-8 pm.
