52nd ANNUAL COMMONWHEEL ARTISTS CO-OP ART FESTIVAL 2026

Commonwheel Artists Co-op will be hosting the 2026 Art Festival in Manitou Springs at Memorial Park over Labor Day weekend on September 5th, 6th and 7th, 2026.

This is the 52nd Annual Commonwheel Artists Labor Day Art Festival in Memorial Park in historic Manitou Springs, Colorado. This high quality art festival was started by artists in 1974 and continues to be run by artists.

This juried fine arts event provides the Pikes Peak region with a high-quality arts festival. An estimated 12,000+ art patrons and collectors from up and down the I-25 corridor, along with visitors to the area arrive at the festival each year to purchase art.

Advertising and bringing the public to the event are top priorities. We will continue to put a large focus on social media as a way to bring local and regional art patrons to the Festival. This has been very successful for the last few years! There will also be extensive use of ads in newspapers, magazines, on Radio and TV stations in the region. Posters, postcards and brochures are distributed to area businesses. A banner is hung weeks in advance over Business Hwy 24 in Manitou Springs to increase the attendance of qualified buyers.
