10 Art Galleries in Colorado That You Shouldn't Miss
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Largest juried outdoor sculpture show in the United States, takes place each year over the second weekend in August.
Reviewed By archerymom
This is an amazing park with lovely handicap accessible access to all sculptures and eating areas. Lovelier in summer months, and home to the annual International Sculpture in the Park held on the second weekend of August, it is a wonderful destination year round to take a brisk walk or leisurely stroll around the ponds. It is indeed one of Loveland's finest parks and each year they add several amazing sculptures so there is always a surprise

This is not a "souvenir" shop. They sell handmade items (bowls, mugs, etc), jewelry, and art, primarily made by local artisans. The offerings are beautiful! Some of the items are rather expensive, though there is a wide range of prices. I was looking for a piece of art and as soon as I saw it I was in love. I purchased a small framed oil painting by an artist who is quite local and the lady managing the shop wrapped it with much care and included a sheet of information about the artist (Jennifer Cline).

Art gallery and Glassblowing studio . Watch live blown glass demos and check out lots of blown glass in our gallery.
Reviewed By LisaRM - Denver, United States
I have been going to this lovely shop since I was a kid. It's the best glass studio there is! The artists are so kind and helpful and their art is creative, thoughtful and fun. If you are looking for a small piece or a larger, stand-out piece you can find both and everything in between. It's one of my favorite stops in Estes Park. Thank you for creating such inspiring and memorable pieces of art to share with all!
