University of Colorado Colorado Springs Campus Art Collection

The University of Colorado Colorado Springs students, staff, and faculty are responsible for creating the best possible community for teaching and learning.  One aspect of this mission is to inspire, to educate, and to enhance the visual arts on campus.  The UCCS Art Collection includes art objects which have significant aesthetic, historical, cultural and market value, and provide significant opportunities for teaching.  Much of the Collection is on public display throughout the campus.  The Collection is the property of The Regents of the University of Colorado.  As employees of UCCS, faculty and staff members are stewards of the Collection.

The Campus Collections Committee is charged with review and strategic planning for gifts and purchases to the Campus Art Collection, they make recommendations to the Chancellor and University on acquisition of the artworks, and deaccessioning of artwork from the Art Collection.  The Committee also maintains complete records for artwork in the Collection.
