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, 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.

How You Can Help

• Donate to fund free classes and supplies

• Shop art to support local makers

• Teach or volunteer to pass on your craft

• Attend events and be part of the movement

Art belongs to all of us. Let’s elevate together.
