Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center

The creation of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College (FAC) supports the emphasis on innovation and adventure. In the words of a March 2017 art review about a FAC show of drawings and paintings, “The exhibit shows the upside of letting an academic institution take the reins. Colleges are shielded from the ups and downs that cultural nonprofits face and can push boundaries…. They have a history of sheltering provocative ideas.” Now,  this spirit is used to design a national model of distinction for an arts center that joins with a college to serve the campus, the community, the region, and the world.
