I'm in need of a couple of pieces for my house, so now that I've found this fun little spot tucked away in Manitou, I will know exactly where to come. I love supporting local as much as I possibly can. The more we can all get away from Amazon shopping the better. But I digress. This is truly a shop you need to find yourself stopping at if you're in Manitou, you won't be disappointed!

We recently closed on a new home near…read moreGarden of the Gods, and wanted to bring in touches of the local landscape; Gallery 113 was highly recommended by our friends and it's easy to see why! The art reflects a range of subjects and mediums, with the majority featuring the distinctive landscapes, flora, and fauna of the area. Whether you're looking for a gift or a new piece for yourself, you can't go wrong with visiting this gallery. As an added bonus, because the gallery is artist owned, the pieces are very reasonably priced. Go! Support local artists. You won't be disappointed.

I ended up buying two wonderful pieces of artwork at the end of my Colorado trip. I was ecstatic that they were still there from the first time I went. We bought a lovely painting of Pikes Peak. It's hanging up in my kitchen in Madison right now. The other one we bought was of the Kissing Camels and the artist used materials that she found at Kissing Camels as part of the art. It's a really nice space and I hope to come back the next time I'm in Colorado.

My first impression was, "The collection of art is really unique, stuff I've never seen before."…read more My first impression has its story. So after hearing from the owner of the gallery, their art collection is a compilation of work from local artists in the area. How cool is that? Everything is its own, and they have everything from paintings, sculptures, handcrafted jewelry (my favorite), photographs, and many others. It's definitely unique and original which makes it pricey if you're looking to purchase a piece of artwork. But if you're looking for something new to spruce up your wall, it's a good place to check out. They have quite a lot of different styles of artwork to choose from, and I stumbled upon a portfolio of Gene Trindl's work in Hollywood during his lifetime. I'm not sure if it was on sale, but I really enjoying looking through all the photographs of Hollywood stars photographed by Trindl. It's just a little interesting encounter on my part because I study media and Trindl is an American idol in magazine photography! (Check out mptvimages.com for some amazing works of photography). The lasting impression? "A great place to browse around for some inspiration of art or to find a unique item for your home!"

Everyone should boycott this place indefinitely. I went to an event they scheduled months ago &…read morepromoted. Absolutely no one from the org showed up. The other attendees were angry too. Doors locked. We all waited outside a half-hour extra. I found out later that they had taken down the event posters inside! So they canceled the event in advance & purposely did not notify attendees (Eventbrite = super easy to notify) out of some weird mix of spite & incompetence. Other folks told us later that this org does this often for different events w/ no explanation or apology EVER! Some drove an hour like me just for this event, so they would need a loan to comp these people at current gas prices! BOYCOTT them into non-existence!

Great local museum detailing the history and life of Colorado Springs and its environs…read more The museum has a variety of exhibits which tackle this from a variety of angles -- famous authors, local Native Americans, the Springs as a tuberculosis treatment center, pottery art, women's art, local tattoo art, the history of the city by decade, the history of a lost Latino neighborhood, etc. All is curated and presented in an interesting fashion -- there was some but very little of the "We don't have a lot to say about this person, so here's random biographical detail filler" sort of local museum content. The breadth of presentation extended to a potpourri "A-to-Z" exhibit with bits of info about a wide variety of topics (did you know that Lon Chaney was from Colorado Springs?). We easily spent three hours touring the exhibits, and I count the time well spent. The building is the former El Paso county courthouses and offices, and is truly lovely. One of the courtrooms has been preserved as an exhibit. Staff was friendly. Admission is free (though donations are encouraged).

Okay, this was fun!! I have been wanting to paint pottery for a while since it's just something I…read morehad never done. This location is in the same shopping center as my favorite Starbucks so we finally decided to stop in one day. 4 hours later... we were done! My wife and I chose like the biggest ones to paint but they don't have a sitting fee (I think that's what she called it) so we took our time and painted the cutest gnome and Darth Vader ever! The prices are listed right one the piece you chose and that includes the item, the paint, and the glaze. Pretty fantastic deal! We spent $75 total and like I said, they were very large pieces. The place was packed when we went but it didn't feel overwhelming or loud. The color options seem endless. Some solids, some with sparkles, some with flecks. The brushes are a little worn so I think I may bring my own next time if that is allowed but there are plenty to route through to find what you're looking for. Best part, the variety they have to chose from! The whole store is lined with pieces including the upcoming holiday, fantasy, garden, kitchen flatware and mugs, and so much more. The place is family owned and much of the pottery they pour (again, I think that's the right'ish way to say that...). Either way, its a small business and we love supporting small businesses! We got a call when our items were glazed and ready to go, about 4 days later.
