610 Arts Collective / Weehawken Creative Arts

The 610 Arts Collective operates as a dual-purpose art gallery and exhibition space in downtown Ridgway, Colorado. Managed by two local non-profit organizations, Weehawken Creative Arts and Ridgway Chautauqua (Sherbino), the venue showcases rotating exhibits featuring work from local and regional artists. Sales of these artworks directly benefit both the creators and the supporting non-profits. The gallery hosts regular artist receptions, providing opportunities for visitors to meet the artists and view new collections in a welcoming setting. Recent exhibitions have included the Annual Photography Invitational, highlighting works by Gary Slane of Montrose and Eric Phillips of Gunnison. The space is known for its carefully curated selection of local artisan jewelry, offering pieces at various price points that serve as excellent gifts or personal treasures. Open Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, and on weekends when volunteers are available, the gallery also arranges private showings by appointment. This small but impactful space serves as a cultural hub for the community, blending visual art with accessible pricing and consistent programming.
