Sustainability

Picture
Since 1974, Commonwheel Artists Co-op has brought Fine Arts and Crafts to the Pikes Peak Region. In 2009 our Art Festival became a more “sustainable” event.
In 2017 the festival was 73% Waste Free by diverting recyclables and compost away from the local landfill.
Our Goal is to do even better this year!
We will just be recycling this year. Please read the signs and be careful when considering placing items in the recycling bins to avoid contamination of that type of waste.
