Today, my mother, Josh, Courtney and I went to the grand opening of the Cottonwood Center for the Arts building. Artists rent studio space and have a place to work on their stuff as well as host gallery events, lessons and parties. The kids were amazing AND they were almost the only ones there during the 3 hours we were there wandering around and meeting all the artists (all 60 of them!) and looking at their work. The center was brilliant and hosted an artist hunt which kept the kids focused and entertained. Besides, everyone loves two outgoing and friendly kids! Courtney even had one of the artists hand draw a portrait of her. Who knows?! Perhaps one of their filled out form will win us a nice piece of art from a Colorado Springs based artist. The facility is incredibly decorated and the lighting was beautiful. They even had a couple of bands playing in the center rooms that can convert into meeting and banquet rooms.
If interested, they open up the building to peruse every last Friday of the month.
