Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College

Founded in 1936 as an expansion of the famous Broadmoor Art Academy, the Fine Arts Center at Colorado College is both a keeper of history and a showcase of today’s fine artists. In 2025, the center overhauled its first-floor display of the permanent collection to better reflect the region’s woven histories of Ute people, Spanish colonial powers, Mexican settlers and European migrants that crossed paths in the shadow of Pikes Peak throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The result is an expansive visual story any Colorado arts or history buff should have on their list.
