Spanish Peaks Arts Council – La Veta

FacebookTwitter

The Spanish Peaks Arts Council is the artistic epicenter for the Spanish Peaks region of southern Colorado. Dedicated to promoting art and art education, this La Veta, CO nonprofit organization is owned by its members.

It’s home to two galleries, a workspace, and a gift shop. Local artists’ work is rotated monthly, so there is always something new to see.

Exhibits

Two gallery spaces showcase the work of Colorado artists. Gallery exhibits are open to all styles of art and change regularly throughout the year. Examples of work you might find in the galleries include:

  • Oil and acrylic paintings
  • Sketches and drawings
  • Photographs
  • Ceramics
  • Jewelry

Every exhibition presented by the Arts Council is totally unique. The Council welcomes both new and traditional formats, and every artist who presents earns a place in the gift shop. Everything you see is always for sale and supports the artists as well as the Council.

Workshops and Events
