Not only does the art display the talents of locals, but the atmosphere is welcoming and cheery as well. I was told that the artists share the staffing responsibilities, with each coming in once a month. We were able to meet a very talented woman who dyes cloth and weaves. My other favorite art was the pottery bear the front. We enjoyed browsing here, and I would love to go back to add to my art collection. They also have the cutest window displays to draw you in.

The gallery features original oils by Paul along with some fabulous original work by several other local artists. While browsing, an art rep delivered several contemporary pieces from another Paul - Paul Cunningham. This guy's work is like none I've ever seen. The price points of all the work in this gallery are extremely reasonable. Our mountain lodge will definitely be sporting several pieces from this new gallery. It's located at: 101 Main St, Frisco, CO 80443. Here's their phone number: (970) 668-0556. I hope you get to visit them soon - maybe I'll see you there.

I covet just about everything in Thomas D. Mangelsen's Brekcenridge, CO gallery. Can't afford any…read moreof it, though. So, I keep an eye out for talented and cheaper photographers. Today I decided to head a little ways into the mountains to check out supposedly Victorian Georgetown just off I70. The historic district, while small, does have charm. It's worth the detour. After scoping out the shops I was immediately drawn to Grizzly Creek Gallery. To my surprise, the guy helping the people already in the shop was the owner/photographer Gary Haines. (Good luck running into Mangelsen at one of his galleries.) He's warm and friendly, has some great work and (best of all) he's got some reasonable prices. He's also a local. Support Colorado artists! After selecting a print it turned out he's also an expert framer. Ever been to Fast Frame? Wow, expensive! Even Hobby Lobby adds up quick. Gary framed the print in a gorgeous barn wood frame (he gets them from a friend in South Dakota) for less than Hobby Lobby's ordinary boring stuff. Thanks, Gary! Will be back on a regular basis to check out your new work.

The pricing is set by each artist but as a whole I think it the items i liked and checked on were well priced. The shop is rather deceptive in that it looks smaller than it actually is. What i thought would be a brief walk through ended up taking much longer and i under estimated the time it would take to view all the art. Sadly, I did not get to look at all the art but on the bright side the next time we are in town i know where to go and to give my self more time to look through the entire gallery. We purchased a piece from sculpture, Janelle Kopp and fiber art from Joanne Hanson. If you're an art lover this gallery should be at the top of your list.

Immediately across the street from the Central City Opera House, the building alone is worth a visit. The friendly gallery manager, Michelle, will happily recount its fascinating history, not the least of which it is the oldest continuously occupied building in Colorado. The front portion of the gallery houses a diverse and affordable collection of works by local artists including pottery, photos, prints, cards, jewelry, wood, fiber art, etc., etc. Many gift worthy items. The rear very funky gallery hosts changing exhibits. I plan to return for the Mile High International Pastel Exhibit beginning April 9, 2022. The art works were waiting to be hung during my visit--many accomplished artists!
