Victor Celebrates the Arts at 26 | Colorado Springs News

This Labor Day weekend marked the 26th anniversary of Victor Celebrates the Arts, a vibrant festival where 65 artists from across the region paint the historic mining town nestled at 10,000 feet. With a ten-mile radius around city hall as their canvas, artists capture the soul of the area—especially its iconic mining headframes. This year brought fresh energy: student artwork from Cripple Creek Victor Jr. Sr. High School took center stage, and a chili cookoff added flavor to the festivities. Powered by a passionate nonprofit and volunteer team, the event balances deep-rooted tradition with bold innovation. A new online art sales launch during a private patron dinner opened doors for collectors, while activities like Brush Rush and Quick Draw drew crowds over three days, starting at 10 AM on Sept. 5–6 and 9 AM on Sept. 7.
