Join us as we kick off a year of transformation at the Fine Arts Center Look Ahead, an inspiring evening that will reveal what’s next. The FAC is entering the Liminal Year—a thoughtfully curated, transitional season that celebrates creativity today while preparing for a new chapter in 2027. This special evening will offer a first look at upcoming theatre productions, museum exhibitions, and Bemis School of Art experiences, alongside exciting behind-the-scenes insights to show how we’re building toward a bold relaunch in 2027.
Come together as we prepare for the reimagined FAC—we definitely have a few surprises in store! This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are requested.

5-6 p.m.: Experience live demos from Bemis School of Art instructors
6 p.m.: Welcome remarks from Colorado College President Manya Whitaker, and announcements about what’s ahead this year from Bemis School of Art Director Tara Thomas, Director of Visual Arts and Museum Michael Christiano, and Producing Artistic Director Chris Sheley in the JiGaSa Theatre.
