We are a resource for the CU Boulder campus, local community and beyond. We are a place to exchange ideas, inspire collaboration, foster compassion, fuel imagination, and transcend boundaries.

It’s our vision to create the university art museum of the 21st century with the campus and broader communities. It's our mission to become a vital player in creating a university culture in which art, creativity, intercultural understanding, and research advance all disciplines in contribution to society.

Hey students: the CU Art Museum is your museum! Let us know how we can serve you better.
