Creating Extraordinary Experiences

Mission

We celebrate and challenge our understanding of place, uplift artists from the past, present, and future, and amplify art’s capacity to shape our work and inspire new possibilities.

Vision

We aim to foster connections among communities through integrated multi-disciplinary art experiences.

We believe in

• Engagement — increases visibility, access, and understanding and empowers communities to have input over decisions that affect their lives and their community.
• Making — a process that generates ideas and brings them into being.
• Cultural Stewardship — employs practices that take responsibility for preserving the value of cultural works, objects and experiences.

A Rich Past. A Bright Future.

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College grew out of and expanded on the mission of the esteemed Broadmoor Art Academy, established in 1919, to become one of the only multi-discipline arts institutions in the nation.

Today we remain an amazing rarity — a museum, theatre and art school, essentially an entire arts district, under one roof. And we go well beyond what you’d consider the boundaries of those disciplines, offering special performances in our galleries, new works in our theatres, extension of arts experiences out into the community, and special engagements for students of all ages that take them inside the process of creating the arts.
