KRCC: Springs art scene at a tipping point

The FAC’s Tariana Navas-Nieves participated in a panel for the “Incubator” series at the UCCS Gallery of Contemporary Art on April 12. KRCC’s Noel Black was there, and he filed this report. Has Colorado Springs reached a tipping point? The FAC and the Extremely Grand Opening in August were mentioned as catalysts to move the arts scene forward in the right direction. “That’s what I’m hoping that the Fine Arts Center will really become a synonym or symbolic of a new era, a new renaissance in the arts in the Colorado Springs area,” said Navas-Nieves.
