Wish I could give zero. Josh is a con artist that has multiple excuses for why my $800 deposit for a custom gate is gone forever. From moving, to injuries, to family issues, to multiple other reason for delays he did not perform any services. It has been almost three years and wish he was still in business in Denver so I could take him to small claims court. read more

This business stole $800 from us. We put 1/2 down on a gate project estimated to be $1600. We were told it would 8 - 9 months to start our project. As we approached one year, we had been given several excuses why it wasn't started. Then it was two years, still not started, but lots of lip service. It has now been over three years and Josh doesn't even bother to return our calls. What a shame - the founder, Dennis, was always a man of his word, but his daughter and son in law are not. Do not give them money in advance! read more

Very professional and helpful with repair of metal art piece. Beautiful metal art pieces.

One of a kind art studio. Indoor and outdoor sculptures nestled along the beautiful landscaping. They make anything from furniture, wall panels custom rail work and you can learn how to weld and create your own designs. They also do a lot of fundraisers. Great place to visit! read more

Stopped at this 23rd Ave metal sculpture studio yesterday. So many terrific outdoor (and indoor) metal art pieces. From gates, to stand alone pieces, to indoor, and outdoor cabinetry. I truly would have loved one of each! Dennis and Christine were kind and helpful, not to mention talented. Came away with not one, but TWO pieces for our yard that we love. We'll be visiting again to check out any new pieces. read more

I went here for a party hosted by The Conflict Center and the gardens out front, as well as the sculptures all around the place are amazing! It wasn't a normal business day so I can't comment on that part, but the location and business itself was great! I hear that the owner gives welding classes. He also does lots of repairs I believe. Not sure if I would ever need any of the services here, but if you go, or even if you're driving by, be sure and check out the skeleton ladies station on the corner! read more

I needed to re-weld the axel to my sons toy electric car. I called three other companies before finding this place and all those companies told me how busy they were and for me to send pictures of what I needed fixed and they would get back to me. After two weeks I never heard from anyone. I walked into 23rd Ave. sculptor studio and they too are extremely busy. They dropped everything they were doing and took care of my request in 10 minutes. They said "it's for your young son and that's our priority". They went the extra mile to take care of me and give excellent customer service. They are very friendly and excellent at their craft. I highly recommend using them!! They have my business forever. Thank you 23rd Avenue sculptor studio!! read more

We were attempting to repair a metal patio chair. A metal piece had split in two and we couldn't find a replacement. An employee at the Tennyson hardware store recommended we stop by 23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio. We spoke with the owner, Dennis, and he fabricated a replacement for us in 15 minutes. He wanted to do it for free but we insisted on paying him something. While we were waiting we wandered around the studio and yard. The sculpture for sale were priced more reasonably than I expected, given the quality. It would be a great place for gifts with many items priced from $50-$150. There are also fire pits, patio furniture and bird feeders, all made onsite. read more

Our neighbor had an expensive ornate iron fence put in.... We paid our share, and had our front walkway enclosed as well. We love it all! Very good work! They took great care in removing existing chain link fence, without disturbing existing plants, shrubs and tree. Great guys, that make sure the work is complete and acceptable! read more

absolutely a MUST see stop if you've got any desire to be amazed and have in interest, appreciation for artistic creations and unique ness in expression with a special hand and geo interest. Not to be missed, a real treat! read more

23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio - Creative, original, metal based yard styled displays of Art! Just super Kul! - Art Galleries Near Me - Paonia, Colorado

This is a unique and wonderful sculpture studio, with a groovy vibe. I've only been here for art openings and receptions, but find the crowd to be nice, and usually they have some form of live music and wine/cheese offered for those. The garden outside of the building is professionally landscaped with drought resistant plants, with lots of interesting sculptures scattered throughout. If the event goes late into the evening, they will light torches around the property, which really adds to the experience. I haven't bought any art here, but I think this place is a wonderful spot to have in the neighborhood. Unique with very friendly owner, Dennis West. read more

23rd Avenue Sculpture is the best neigborhood art gallery-sculpture studio around! Owner Dennis West is super creative and fun. He teaches informal metal art classes (stop by for pricing) where you can learn to weld and try your hand at creating. They have been in business for about 12 or 13 years. The business is housed in an old converted gas staion. Over the years gardens have been added with a hugh selection of outdoor and indoor sculpture and art. Funky and super fun! They also host great art openings with live music , free food, wine and beer. Stop by and get on the e-mail list for an invite to the next event. read more

23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio - Original Parade of Homes interior rail created by 23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio - Art Galleries Near Me - Paonia, Colorado

A great neighborhood outdoor art gallery that is always open. If you're in the highlands, this is a must see for locals. During the summer they team up with Toast! Wine & Spirits for live music, wine, and grillin'. I love the atmosphere and try to make time to stop by whenever I'm on a walk through the neighborhood. read more

Live in the hood. Had a broken support on a metal barstool. One of the artistans in residence there fixed it on the spot for free so I felt a hardy contribution to the beer fund was in order since Toast is just down the street! Having Dennis quote some custom handrails for a contractor friend also. Also, Dennis has a fantasic garden & Koi ponds that is worth strolling around and checking out along with a beehive. Thinking of some trout pieces I might have someone there make as an anniversary present for hubby too! read more

For several years now have seen and appreciated Dennis's fine craftsmanship throughout the Highlands and NW Denver areas. His work is one of a kind and from someone who has done a bit of welding in years past, have to say that his work is some of the finest I've ever seen. I had two Tiffany-style lamps which needed new welds on the connecting rods within the lamp and he repaired them better than they were originally made. The gardens and koi pond on his property are absolutely beautiful and his work is interwoven throughout. There is always something new to see and I appreciate that he is the ultimate recycler in that he re-frabricates old metals into unique, creative pieces that you will never see anywhere else. He is a true gem and am very grateful to have met him and know that his work will last throughout the years. read more

23rd Avenue Sculptures is a great place to find creative sculptures by local artists, the garden is a beautiful place to view their work. I've purchased several creative pieces from Dennis through the years and have enjoyed watching his perennial garden grow. I'll miss Dennis's laughter and friendly smile, I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I look forward to visiting again soon and meeting Amoreena, his daughter. Thank you for keeping Dennis's legacy alive, good luck! read more

these folks are great. they repaired two metal chairs while I waited and didn't want to charge for it although I did give them a small tip. everyone should have neighbors like this read more

I was looking for an outdoor sculpture for my yard in the early '90s and drove by stopped and purchased a perfect piece. From then on I attended gallery openings complete with music and refreshments. I showed Dennis' work in my galleries in Denver & Golden. He has made custom bookcases and buffet tables, desk, the list goes on. If you can dream it, he can create it. This is THE place to go for unique metal art! read more

They do excellent work. Dennis is a neat guy who can be a bit gruff at times but his kindness usually shines through. John is fantastic. Unfortunately, there is now a woman present who is just so angry and unfriendly that we can no longer return or continue to give them business or recommendations. A number of people were yelled at by her at a recent gathering there, so I would be wary of hosting another event there. Not a good Idea to have her representing this business. That said, I wish them the best and hope she can work on being friendlier with customers so that they don't lose others. read more

You really need to go check out Dennis' amazing metal art work. Bring your family and friends as it is a great experience. As a bonus he has created these beautiful gardens with a koi pond. read more

.. purchased a nice piece of welded landscaping art for my wife for our 6th anniversary .. she loves it. It goes nicely with all the other welded outdoor art pieces that hold function as well for plant supports. I purchased directly from the artist, cash or check .. we'll be back, and will also recommend 23rd Ave. Sculpture Studio to others. Nice people. read more

If you plan on having an event here- get details in writing! We hosted an event at the 23rd Avenue Sculpture Studio this summer. The property is beautiful. However, having an event here leaves something to be desired. Our event was double booked by the owners. There was a lot of confusion about when our event (a baby shower) was going to occur and when the other event (a 40th birthday party) was going to occur. Their guests showed up in the middle of the shower and appeared really confused because the party was supposed to start before ours ended. The owner, Dennis was fairly apologetic about double booking, but said that we could "co-mingle the parties." Other issues involved the following: *We could not park on site even though there are a few spots because they don't want the garden being blocked from the street. So, if you have elderly or disabled people attending your party, they will have to cross the street after parking. *The tables outside that we used were dirty and there was no cleaning items provided, so I used baby wipes to clean everything. *They do not want balloons/decorations on their property. *The start and end times (along with time for set up and clean up) are unclear. *There is some micro-management about where and how things are done (including where to put food, when/how to use electrical outlets, etc). read more

I asked about a sculpture for a Christmas present, and provided pictures. He said he would call me with an estimate of time and price. No news for over 3 weeks, so I stopped in. Said he would call within the week. This was last year, and I still haven't gotten that call. read more
