Founded in 1983, The Museum of Art Fort Collins (MoA) stands as the city's sole public art museum funded by the community, for the community.
MoA's mission is to boldly explore contemporary society through art, connecting art, artists, and the community. With a vision to offer the region top-tier art experiences, MoA sparks conversations, creates inspiring exhibitions and programs, and serves as an arts leader, remaining guided by principles of connectivity, relevance, and vision.
MoA embraces aesthetic, political, social, and environmental issues relevant to the community. MoA showcases captivating local, regional, and national 20th and 21st-century art while providing artist workshops, classes, and a commitment to inclusivity with their "MoA for All" program, granting free entry to underrepresented community members ensuring that all have access to art and culture.
To boldly explore contemporary society through art–enlightening, educating, and providing arts leadership for our region. We connect art, artists and community.
At the Museum of Art | Fort Collins (MoA), we believe that art has the power to bring people together, spark conversation, and deepen our understanding of one another. Every exhibition, event, and program we offer is designed with our Northern Colorado community in mind, because we exist for you.
In challenging times, art becomes an important cultural touch stone, allowing people to engage in the world in different ways. Community members have used our space to connect, create, heal, and take respite.
As a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit, MoA fills a truly unique role in our region. We are not funded by a larger entity, like a local government or university, which means we rely on the generosity of individuals, local businesses, and grants to sustain our work. This independence allows us to remain nimble, creative, and deeply responsive to the needs and interests of our community,
Being a nonprofit also comes with challenges. Rising costs, shifting funding priorities, and economic uncertainty all make it more difficult to plan for the future, yet the need for connection and creativity through the arts has never been greater. Through it all, we remain committed to keeping art accessible, relevant, and responsive to Northern Colorado thanks to the continued support of people like you.
