Where we've been
Art Wars II

Art Wars was a huge success, bringing in over 900 people and raising $2500 for the Pikes Peak Ballet Theatre. The event was held at the Historical City Auditorium on April 2, 2005. 33 local artists submitted work totaling over 100 pieces on display. 15 artists were also in-house each creating a piece of work to be auctioned off that evening. Other participating artists included the Colorado Fire Tribe, Brazilian Capoeira, the Peak Ballet Theatre, local poets, local bands, belly dancing, grafitti aritsts and much more.
