We’ve been coming to Cottonwood Center for the Arts for years now, and it never loses its charm. As an older couple, we really appreciate the calm, welcoming atmosphere and the variety of artwork on display. It’s a lovely place to spend an afternoon together, taking our time and enjoying each piece. The artists are talented, and there’s always something new to see. It’s become one of our favorite little traditions.

Amazing collection of artists in this building. Jon, the owner, is a kind and enthusiastic member who is always looking to help artists find their place. I've been at cottonwood for 4 years now and they've always been so supportive. Annie Piper is an amazing event coordinator and does such an excellent job putting together the markets.

I love Cottonwood Center for the arts! I live in Denver but try to go to as many 1st Fridays and sale days as possible. This place has a variety of talented artists, great exhibits and a wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have purchased art for my home, jewelry, pottery, soap, and many gifts.
