The Fine Arts Center has transformed 1,500 square feet of gallery into a space designed to highlight the often unseen, behind-the-scenes collections-based work of the museum. Guests can engage with visible storage that house objects under our care, as well as artworks used for college coursework and other research projects. Talk with the museum team as they work on a series of projects including conservation, the physical care and storage of items, stewardship of cultural items including NAGPRA initiatives (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), data management, digitization, collection-based research, and other topics.
This initiative, the first of its kind for the FAC, will radically increase access to the collection for Colorado College faculty, students, and the broader public. Through an ever-rotating series of presentations and programs—including hands-on workshops—Agents of Care provides a platform for critical conversations about museum practice while making transparent the Fine Arts Center Museum’s ongoing effort to enhance its stewardship of over 17,000 works.
Agents of Care: A Collections Transparency Project is supported by the Catharine and Bart Holaday Endowment for Interactive Art.
