Right now, our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone in our community being impacted by the Waldo Canyon Fire. In light of recent developments, we have some updates to share.

FAC GALLERIES ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | 10a-5p

In response to the very poor air quality, we are keeping the FAC galleries open and free to the public. We invite everyone to use the FAC as a resource for staying indoor, avoiding the heat, and enjoying art. 
UPDATE | The FAC will resume regular gallery admission rates starting Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Hope you've enjoy the galleries, and return to see James Turrell: Trace Elements and Scott Johnson: Places Apart. 

SHARE YOUR STORY: WALDO CANYON FIRE COMMUNITY DISPLAY

We've created a space along the glass corridor landing for people to pin and share their images and experiences from the devastating fires impacting our community. We hope this space brings strength to our community, allowing people to express and cope with their feelings during this difficult and unpredictable situation. 

WHISKEY III RESCHEDULED

UPDATE | We have rescheduled Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses: Friday, August 17 | 6-9 pm.

BEMIS SCHOOL OF ART AND YOUTH REP THEATRE IN SESSION

Committed to keeping students active and engaged during this difficult time, Bemis summer classes and Youth Rep programs will continue as scheduled. Any cancellations will happen on a class-by-class basis, and students will be contacted directly by instructors.

To keep updated on a all FAC-related events, please check our website, facebook, twitter and blog regularly. We'll share information as we have it available. 

Many have been evacuated and displaced, FAC staff members included, by the fires. During this very difficult time, one thing remains certain; we have a remarkable community. The FAC is proud to be part of such a resilient community, and is committed to supporting it as best we can. Sincere thanks and gratitude to all fire fighters and those supporting the effort. 

Take care, and stay safe!
