Up To Something Blue
Our Journey
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Blue Hands has been a staple event in the Manitou Springs community since the summer of 2021. It started as a fundraiser within the Textiles West organization. Sadly, Textiles West shut down due to the financial impact of the 2020 COVID lockdown. Despite the dissolution of Textiles West, the initiatives that started under its auspices have persisted, upheld by the organization's former local members. Blue Hands is one such initiative that has flourished into an independent entity, aspiring to extend its reach into the Colorado Springs area.
Our Story
Blue Hands began as a means to keep the connection alive among the remaining members of Textiles West, with an emphasis on textile-related activities. It has since transformed into an artist collective celebrated for its events. Blue Hands is committed to promoting inclusivity, nurturing exploration, preserving traditional arts, and supporting sustainable practices. We embrace these values within our community and invite everyone to join and enjoy the events we host.
