Hunter Wolff Art Gallery in Old Colorado City – Gallery Review

Hunter Wolff Gallery - Old Colorado City - Bronze Sculpture of Otter

If you go to Old Colorado City, I advise you to stop by the Hunter Wolff Art Gallery.  The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the artists they represent through the gallery. In addition, the owner has done a fantastic job curating the art to bring in a variety of works in different mediums, styles, and price points.

If you want fine art, they can help you find the right piece to fit your style and budget.  The gallery represents about 60 artists, featuring bronze sculptures, blown glass, pottery, furniture, and paintings. In addition, there are some unique works of art that I am not sure how to classify; you will have to visit the gallery to see them for yourself.

The gallery owner is active in the community, sharing her knowledge, helping up-and-coming artists reach their potential, and helping art collectors curate their collections.  Every month, she organizes and promotes the First Friday Art Walk for all of Old Colorado City, supporting all the other galleries in the city to find success; she operates with the philosophy that a rising tide raises all ships.

When visiting the gallery, you will notice that they take the time to get to know their clients and build relationships with them.  If you are there at any time, you will see clients stop in to say hi and talk about their art collections with the staff.  If you are serious about collecting art or want beautiful things in your homes, this is a gallery you will want to build a relationship with.

It is truly a 5-star Art Gallery.
