First Fridays at PPAC: A Creative Celebration!

If you find yourself in Colorado Springs on the first Friday of any month, you’re in for a treat. Our vibrant community comes alive with the First Friday Art Walk, a bustling event where hundreds of vendors, artists, and residents gather to create, learn, explore, and socialize. And right in the heart of this creative explosion is our beloved Pikes Peak Artist Collective!


At Pikes Peak Artist Collective, we believe in the power of art to transform lives. Our studio offers classes in ceramics, painting, and drawing for everyone aged 5 to 99. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, our doors are always open for you to explore your creativity.


Each First Friday, we host a variety of fun and engaging events at our studio. One of our highlights is the “Try the Wheel” pottery classes.
