MSAC, in collaboration with the Business of Art Center and Coutura, is pleased to offer a limited number of signed prints by world-renowned artists Christo & Jeanne-Claude. They are on display, and available for $300 each, at Coutura, 6380 Corporate Centre Circle, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 (719-636-3000 and couturaco.com).

One of the signed prints depicts a rendering of “Over the River,” a project which Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude have been working on for many years – a project which would suspend fabric over nearly 6 miles of the Arkansas River near Salida.

The art exhibit and sale at Coutura, arranged by MSAC, also includes many original pieces by local artists, the prices of which range from $95 to $1,800. Stop by Coutura and enjoy the art as well as the design center itself!

Moon over Manitou - Sculptor Dan Romano was all smiles Saturday as the Manitou Springs Arts Council presented him with a check for $1,000.

The check was the final payment in the MSAC’s purchase of Romano’s sculpture Man In Z Moon. The purchase was the first of its kind by the MSAC. Man In Z Moon stands in Shoshone Plaza and was originally installed as part of the MSAC’s Art on the Avenue project. Pictured are MSAC members Todd Liming, Alexis Elza, MSAC President Ben Kuckel, Dan Romano, MSAC member Christi Mayfield, Manitou Springs Mayor Marc Snyder and MSAC member Julia Wright. Man In Z Moon stands behind the group.
