The Sangres Art Guild in Custer County, Colorado, promotes the arts in the Wet Mountain Valley to create a dynamic, supportive environment for the visual arts to flourish. We believe Art Connects Community.
We operate 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe providing support for our members’ artistic endeavors and fostering commerce in our community through the visual arts. The gallery is a place where artists of all skill levels can participate in monthly fine art shows (May – December), receptions, art groups, and art classes, and as a gathering space for artists and art lovers in our community.
We work with other local organizations, through collaborative efforts, providing free art classes for all ages.
We award a scholarship to aid a local graduating senior from Custer County who is pursuing further education in the arts.
The Art in Public Places program enhances public spaces with visual art exhibits displaying our artists’ original works in various locations in the community.
The Alla Prima Westcliffe plein air annual event attracts artists from across the country to paint in our beautiful valley. The week concludes with an art show, sale and gala reception with awards.
Thank you for your contribution to the arts!
