Artists Unite in Manitou Springs | Colorado Springs News

The Commonwheel Art Festival just ended in Manitou Springs, drawing thousands to celebrate art in all its forms—from nature photography to recycled masterpieces. For many artists, this is their one major show of the year, a vital chance to connect with audiences who truly appreciate their craft. Rooted in a 52-year-old co-op, the event showcases 39 local artists who co-own a downtown storefront and collaborate creatively. Each year, they expand into a park space to boost business and draw visitors to their permanent shop. After the festival, most artists head elsewhere—but the dedicated crew returns to keep the cycle of art and community alive right where it began.
