continue with 10% of the sales going to either of those two
agencies. In addition, Alexandra Cousteau, the granddaughter of Jacques

Art Lab Fort Collins

Fort Collins Art Lab

Art Lab Fort Collins is an experimental art space that is open to all fine artists, hobbyists, innovators, creatives, musicians and performers. If you have something to share, we have a space for you. This is not a traditional gallery -- it's different because the scene is always changing. Art Lab is a COOPERATIVE artspace -- an experimental concept that involves the community. Art Lab turns empty storefronts into vibrant art-spaces. It transforms good places into unique venues where art can happen. It moves, changes shape and pushes boundaries.
