​ 
Commonwheel Artists Labor Day Art Festival is a three-day weekend event filled with exceptionally high quality artwork, talented musicians and fabulous food. For 43 years Commonwheel Artists Co-op has helped create an awareness of American-made original fine arts and contemporary crafts by bringing quality artists to this art festival. These artists and local musicians converge upon Manitou Springs Memorial Park to create an incredible art focused festival over this holiday weekend.
 
A jury of professional artists chooses the artists that be showing this year. Only the finest handcrafted work created by the artists are accepted to be present at Commonwheel’s Art Festival. About 30% of the artists are new each year. Come meet the creator of the artwork you will fall in love with and want to purchase to grace your home or body.
 
The line-up of original music by local performers who are showcased on our stage offers a variety of music styles that will fit everyone’s musical tastes. Art and music patrons can sit and listen to their favorite entertainer while enjoying a tasty treat and a cold drink or listen as they wander the booths filled with fine art and contemporary crafts.
 
Eco-friendly food service and delicious treats make this a great place to meet friends for lunch before exploring the art booths. Enjoy a wide variety of exotic and familiar fun foods at the 10 food booths you will find in a tree-shaded food court. The food booths are diverse and offer some tasty treats rarely found at other festivals. This will be the eighth year that our food vendors, sponsors and many community volunteers have worked with Commonwheel to create a Waste-Wise Event. The 2016 Arts Festival was 80% Waste-Free. Learn more about sustainable life practices at the Pikes Peak Permaculture’s Sustainable Booth.
 
Stimulate your child’s imagination by encouraging them to experience various kid-friendly art-related activities around Memorial Park. At our Kid’s Art Activities Booth children are invited to express their creative side with a hands-on art projects. Here kids of all ages can also have their faces painted. Kids of all ages will enjoy watching Dwayne Faux twist up some fun balloon creatures and hats to wear. Jim Jackson from the Millibo Art Theatre helps children add color to the air by creating giant soap bubbles. These activities introduce children to art in fun and exciting ways that encourages them to make art a part of their lives forever.
 
Local patrons all along the Front Range describe the Commonwheel Art Festival as their favorite place to find high quality art and fine crafts for themselves to wear and display in their. Savvy art patrons arrive early on Saturday morning to purchase the best artwork or craft items offered by their favorite artists each year. This is also a great time to discover new artists showing in Manitou Springs for the first time. Many visitors come to purchase Holiday gifts that they know will be unique and please their art appreciating friends and family.
 
Local businesses have donated art, entertainment or dining prizes for a free prize drawing. Sign up to win a dinner in Manitou Springs or in Cripple Creek, a 10-person wine tasting, free soaks, theatrical performances or artwork at the Commonwheel Information Booth.
 
The Commonwheel Art Festival starts at 10 a.m., which makes it ideal for people attending the Colorado Springs Balloon Classic to make a day of it. We invite art patrons to come over after the last balloon has disappeared in the blue Colorado sky and enjoy our live music, have lunch at a table in the food court, then stroll among the beautiful art filled booths in Manitou Springs’ Memorial Park.
 
Put it on your calendar to take a trip to historic Manitou Springs this Labor Day Weekend. This would be a great way to support American artists as you experience a day filled with high quality artwork, fabulous food, art projects for kids and talented local music performers.

About Face

8/16/2017

by Leti Wesolowski, contributor
​
Celebrate with the artists at our opening reception this Friday, August 18th from 5 to 8 pm at the Creekside Gallery. Show runs from August 18th through September 11th, 2017.

Julie Kirkland grew up in an artistic family in California, but it wasn’t until she relocated to Colorado that she started painting.  She first worked with watercolors but most recently she has switched to oil paintings. She paints still life, landscapes, people and animals, but her true focus is the contrast created by light and shadows. The light, or the lack of it, is essential for her to tell a story with otherwise ordinary subjects.  Many of her paintings capture whimsical subjects that entertains and delights her audience, and this is the case with her latest “About Face”, a show of 100 small portraits of the back of people’s heads, instead of the more traditional portraits of faces.  Julie noticed that we recognize our family and friends from the back as easily as from the front, so why not feature local residents  and artists that we know. Even if you don’t know them all personally, some of these portraits are bound to remind you of someone!  Spoiler: Chris and Liese Chavez, Phil Lear, Deb Komitor and Sean O’ Meallie are local artists among them.
 
Joining Julie are local potters Arlene Woods and Nancy Morse with face-related pottery.  Arlene is one of the oldest Commonwheel members and she enjoys working with clay because it challenges to explore many possibilities. For this show she has created clay masks and vases with faces, and depending on her choice of glazes you’ll discover imaginative, humorous, meditative, childish and some just playful bold and colorful personalities. Nancy is also a Commonwheel member and a potter who loves the sculptural quality of clay. She has created whimsical coffee mugs with interesting and funny gestural faces that would remind you of old men.
 
 
 
 
A little bit about Julie Kirkland and her inspiration for this show.
 
Julie, how did you get interested in painting?
My grandfather was a sculptor, and my grandmother and aunt were painters, so I’ve always been interested in art. I started painting 19 years ago and now can’t imagine life without it.

​What are your proudest achievements as an artist?
“About Face” is my proudest achievement. The sheer number of portraits and the fact that it took 2 years to complete weren’t something I knew for certain that I could stick to without losing interest. Instead, each portrait made me more excited to do the next, and the next. In fact, I’m still painting them.
 
 
What has inspired your artwork for this show?
My inspiration for the show was the fact that we all recognize people we know just as easily from behind as by seeing their faces. I’m always looking for a slightly different take on things and the whimsical concept of painting people from behind just tickled my fancy. What I didn’t think about as I began the series was that I was going to learn so much about painting skin tones, hair color and textures. I painted from photographs that I took of family, artist friends and strangers on the street. Approaching strangers turned out to be fun. After explaining to them who I was and what I was doing, I only had one person not allow me to photograph him. While a majority of people protest when you ask to take their pictures, people are completely comfortable with allowing you to photograph them from the back. That says a lot about how anonymous we feel we are from the back; only friends and family can recognize us, making these portraits of the back of heads somehow very intimate.

What emotions/reactions/thoughts do you want to cause/explore/achieve on the public looking at your artwork?
The portraits make me smile when I see them, and I’m hoping that they will bring smiles to the faces of others who view them and remind them of people that they know. After seeing “About Face”, perhaps they might even take a closer look of the back of their friends and family’s heads.

What is your favorite piece of this show and why?
Right now, I’d say that the portraits of my parents are dear to me. Two others would be the young man with blonde dreads and a young Southern girl I met in Garden of the Gods. I’ve also painted a few surprising portraits, and I include all of them amongst my favorites.

Where else can we find your artwork?
My work can be found in The Hunter Wolff Gallery on W. Colorado Avenue in Old Colorado City, and also in my working space in The Second Floor Studios that’s just down the street.
