This month, we look back at the people who created the Fine Arts Center as a place for the arts to grow and flourish. In celebration of our 75th birthday on April 20, we've got lots planned. But that's a subject we'll explore in greater detail in the near future.
Today, we want to invite you to delve into our history in search of these three photos. Find them, tell us what they are and where in our 75th Anniversary site you located them, and you're entered to win!
The first person to respond here on the blog wins tickets and drinks for two to The Women. We'll also choose two runners-up to win consolation prize memorabilia.
Ready to embark on a photo hunt? Find these 3 photos!
*Rules: Must be 18 or older to win. Entrants should post their findings in the comments field of this blog post. Winners will be announced and awarded upon the first three entrants submitting their correct findings. We'll publish comments in order of their appearance after we've got our three winners!
[Update: we got so many entries in the first hour that we kept the contest going a few more hours to allow more people to add their guesses. ]
And here are the winners!
Tickets & Drinks winner: jeremygrantcreative / Jeremy Grant
First runner-up: Kellina / Chana Kolman

The beautiful Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center building, designed by architect John Gaw Meem, opened its doors for business on April 20, 1936. A year-long celebration will ensue at the FAC to mark this 75th Anniversary with special events, classes, lectures, exhibitions and performances.

I love the FAC! It's certainly one of the greatest places in Colorado Springs :)

Hi, everyone! We now have 12 entries and we'll review them in order of their submission. Since the announcement arrived around lunch time, we're going to wait to publish the winners until after 2:30 to give more people time to enjoy the hunt! Thanks for playing. We'll have another online art history activity with prizes next week, so watch for the FAC weekly email blast!

The exterior picture is the west end of the fine arts center before trees. The interior shot appears to be the room at the top of the stairs in the old building that has the stage. The final picture appears to be Boardman Robinson.

Cool, thanks so much! I'm excited to see the play.
how should I get those tickets?
Jeremy: how did you get the email an hour before the rest of us? :)
But seriously, what does Jeremy Grant Creative do? I throw pottery and am hoping to be an Occupational Therapist. I hope to be treating soldiers, so I am always looking for ways to treat my future patients in a novel way and as such I'm interested in people who do work like I THINK you do. :)
Thanks!
