The ‘en plein air’ paintings produced during this event reflect Colorado’s authentic mining history and our beautiful mountain scenery. All paintings in the show are framed and available for purchase. This is an event the whole family can enjoy. So come on up, for a breath of fresh air and fine art.

Victor Celebrates the Arts

Come to historic Victor, Colorado, on the sunny side of Pikes Peak as ‘plein air’ artists from around the country gather to paint on location in our town and the many legendary 1890’s gold mining sites nearby. Victor is located one hour west of Colorado Springs, the site of the greatest gold strike in the United States history. The paintings done during our annual event capture the essence of
1890’s architecture, the old mining buildings along our hiking trails and the panoramic views of Pikes Peak and the Sangre de Cristo mountains.


Watch artists paint the week before the art show and at scheduled events.
