ArtWalk is a self-guided visual arts walking tour featuring art galleries and open artist studios along Colorado Avenue. As many as 100 art pieces may be viewed for purchase in just one location in Old Colorado City’s art galleries. Colorado Springs’ largest concentration of galleries is found within three city blocks along West Colorado Avenue, between 23rd and 27th Streets. Art enthusiasts can enjoy the region’s vast pool of creative talent at A Call to Life, Arati Artists Gallery, Colorado Copper, Cucuru Gallery Café, Hunter-Wolff Gallery, The Michael Garman Museum, Kathleen McFadden’s Range Gallery, Simpich Showcase, The Second Floor Studios, The Squash Blossom, Thunder Mountain Trading Co., and Yobel Marketor by visiting www.BestArtOnTheAvenue.com.
Every first Friday of the month, there is a FREE Art Walk in Old Colorado City. First Friday ArtWalk is held monthly from April to December. This visual arts event is widely popular because of the commitment by the individual gallery owners and loyal art-goers. The generosity of local businesses and corporate sponsors also helps promote the program so that ArtWalkers can continue to enjoy the event free of charge throughout the year.
The 2011 First Friday ArtWalk starts Friday, April 1 from 5-8 pm and continues monthly every first Friday through the end of the year. On the first Friday, of each month, everyone is invited to explore new collections of art, meet artists and observe demonstrations throughout historic Old Colorado City. Mark your calendars now!
