Vision

The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) promotes arts and humanities by being a dynamic hub on campus for collaboration and innovation and by creating connections with the Boulder community and beyond.

Mission

The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) fosters community, supports collaborations, and inspires creativity and research while promoting equity, inclusion, and academic excellence.

What We Do

The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) supports its mission by serving all faculty, staff, and students in the arts and humanities. In addition to bringing together academics and students across disciplines, the Center is also an interface between the community and the university. 

At the core of CHA’s activities is an annual fellowship competition for faculty working in the humanities and arts. By granting successful applicants a semester off from teaching, CHA contributes to the innovation of scholarship and the rejuvenation of teaching. In addition, various committees award grants to faculty for research trips and invited speakers, as well as grants and fellowships for graduate students. CHA funds collaborative faculty initiatives across departments and organizes symposia, workshops and visits from prominent scholars and artists to stimulate new research.

Through its programs, the CHA works to encourage interdepartmental and cross-campus dialogue, to raise the profile of the arts and humanities in Boulder, and to build support for scholarship and creative activity.
