About Elev8 Arts

Art changes lives. At Elev8 Arts, we believe creativity should be for everyone.

We’re a nonprofit art hub based in the heart of Knob Hill, Colorado Springs at 2438 E. Platte Ave. 80909, bringing together artists, kids, and older generations to build something beautiful together. Our mission is simple: to make art accessible, meaningful, and community-powered.

We offer:

🎨 Free art classes for local youth

🧑‍🏫 Teaching opportunities for older generations and artists

🖼️ Consignment space to help artists earn a living

🔥 A makerspace with tools and glassblowing facilities

In a neighborhood that often gets overlooked, like Knob Hill, Elev8 Arts stands as a vibrant, safe haven for expression and growth. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a curious child, or someone looking to connect, you have a place here.

Why We Exist

We’ve seen art programs vanish from schools. We’ve seen talented artists struggle to be seen. We’ve seen kids grow up without a creative outlet. Elev8 Arts exists to change that.

• Donate to fund free classes and supplies

• Shop art to support local makers

• Teach or volunteer to pass on your craft
