WELCOME!
The Sangres Art Guild in Custer County, Colorado, promotes the arts in the Wet Mountain Valley to create a dynamic, supportive environment
for the visual arts to flourish. We operate 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe providing support for our members’ artistic endeavors
and fostering commerce in our community through the visual arts.
Members - We Need Your Support as Volunteers!
Our Artist Members are also the volunteers that passionately bring their expertise to each and every aspect of the gallery,
including behind the scenes through social media, planning, and website operations.
Current Show
Reflections Opening Reception Nov. 1st Karen LeBlond was our Featured Artist and it turns out, also the recipient of the Community Award, chosen by Jordan Hedberg of the Tribune, both pictured above. Kevin Koch received the Mystery Award, chosen by a car fan of his for his Sebring 1967. The Musicians, Simple Gifts, were a huge hit playing lots of tunes we could all sing along with and remember. Last month, if you recall, Danica Lee was our featured artist and was working on a totem that she was demoing for us. She showed it in this November show, complete and it sold, by someone who patiently watched her work on it last month! |

Welcome our new Gallery Manager!
We are thrilled to have Eileen Piasecki-Couch as our new Gallery Manager! I have lived in Westcliffe about 10 years, and have been a member of SAG for 6 years. I lived most of my life in Rural New York and worked as a Microbiologist for American Home Products, currently Pfizer Pharmaceuticals until I started my own business (The Pine Island Herb and Spice Company). After 28 years with my own business supplying products to over 60 grocery stores, I sold my company in 2014 and retired to Colorado with my husband when he retired from Pfizer. Since that time, I have worked as an EMT for Custer County Ambulance and Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center with the Ambulance Service and in the ER. Most recently, I worked for the Custer County Public Health Center. I am also a private pilot, and when able, fly non-medical emergency patients for Angel Flight West. I’m currently retired and volunteer for Sangre Arts Guild. The next time you are visiting the gallery, please say hello to her! If you have any questions or concerns, email Eileen at gallerymanager@sangresrartguild.org |
