The story of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College (FAC) begins with the founding of the Broadmoor Art Academy by Julie and Spencer Penrose in 1919. During the Great Depression, three dedicated philanthropists – Julie Penrose, Alice Bemis Taylor, and Elizabeth Sage Hare – envisioned expanding the Broadmoor Art Academy into an entire arts district under one roof. The FAC changed its name, built a grand building, and opened as the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center in 1936. In August 2016, the FAC announced an historic alliance with Colorado College and on July 1, 2017, became the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. The FAC is deeply rooted in the legacy of its founders, who possessed bold visions, a deep passion for the arts, and dedication to the Colorado Springs community. The FAC honors this legacy and spirit today by providing innovative, educational, and multidisciplinary arts experiences designed to elevate the individual spirit and inspire community vitality, building on its history as a unique cultural pillar of the Pikes Peak region.

  • What an amazing community event for Dia de Los Muertos! The Fine Arts Center proves over and over that they are an integral part of the Colorado Springs community. Join for a First Friday, CC mobile arts event or see a show!
  • There is a Dale Chilhuly instilation and a variety of old and new art. The gift shop is fun and clever. I will be back
  • We had a good time and enjoyed the "It's a Wonderful Life" production. The acting was great. Two negatives... the production briefly brought social justice politics into it and only one bartender serving. Took 20 minutes standing in line to get a drink.
  • Just attended "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play." Outstanding doesn't give it justice! Superb in every single way! Absolutely fantastic! Seriously, it's one of the best performances I have seen!
  • It is a very nice museum near downtown Colorado Springs.
