La Veta Gallery on Main
Nestled in a scenic valley at the base of the captivating Spanish Peaks in Southern Colorado lies the quaint little town of La Veta. In this secluded piece of paradise, life slows down, creativity abounds, and artistic expression flourishes. Here you will find the unique and imaginative La Veta Gallery on Main.
The gallery is known for its extensive offering of ceramic works, and also represents many local and regional artists working in paint, jewelry, fiber, photography, scratchboard, wood, and paper.
We invite you to come see all the unique and diverse works on display!

The Timbers says …
“The Cuchara Valley is home to some amazing artists, and we are happy to feature their work in our gallery.
Please take a tour throughout our tavern, dining room and up in our loft to see works currently on display including paintings, sculpture, and multi-media works. Colorado and the southwest United States offer fantastic inspiration to these artists and we are proud to exhibit their pieces.
Artists include: Shawn Bridges, Diane Broce, Scot Mangold, Marnee Camp, Bradley Lemons, Frances Staniforth, Tim Deibler, Marcia Barclay and Wayne Stewart. Please take time to enjoy the offerings. Each piece is clearly marked with a price. We encourage you to take home a piece of artwork from one of our artists and add it to your collection.”

Kathy Hill says –
“Color and light are always significant in my paintings. I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful, best-kept secrets in Colorado. No matter whether my painting is of the magnificent Spanish Peaks, or of a lowly rock in the snow, my hope is to connect with others who share my love of the natural world.
As we experience the world around us, we often hold onto fleeting moments we remember more as feelings than how things really looked. In my work, I strive to capture these moments, enhancing the feelings with expressive colors, yet retaining the reality of the scene.”

The Museum Of Friends (MOF) is a contemporary art museum which opened in October of 2006 in the Southern Colorado community of Walsenburg by artists Brendt and Maria Cocchiarelli Berger. MOF occupies 6,000 square feet of museum display space with room for expansion.
The museum’s name stems from the fact that the initial 600 piece collection on exhibit is almost entirely comprised of paintings, photographs, sculpture and other pieces of art which had been given separately to Brendt and Maria by their respective artist friends. These friends continue to provide the museum with additional art to expand the collection. Today, the collection includes 1,700 works of art.
Be sure to check out the Made in Walsenburg Gift Shop located in the Museum! The shop offers quality locally sourced art, crafts, handcrafts, photographs, ceramics, made by our own creatives.

For over twenty years, The Parkside was the center of the cultural life of La Veta Colorado. Art shows, live music, open mic nights, food and films were all part of the activities at The Parkside. After a hiatus, the gallery reopened in late June 2019 as a venue for woodworking: furniture, sculpture, woodturning, and more. Having taught fine woodworking for twenty-six years at Santa Fe Community College, the proprietor of the gallery, Michael Hoffer, sees the gallery as a means to promote the work of his former colleagues and students, as well as that of local artists.
