With an eye to the future while honoring the legacy of a local artist, The Art Center of Western Colorado is getting ready for some big changes.
It has launched a $600,000 capital campaign to create a gallery space that will be named for the late Jac Kephart while also making some muchneeded upgrades to its 13,000-square-foot building at 1803 N. Seventh St.
Kephart, who died in 2019, was a painter and mixed-media artist who mentored a number of local artists and inspired many others. His work is in collections around the world and was carried by galleries across the United States.
A generous donor has given $300,000 to create the Jac Kephart Gallery at The Art Center and another $150,000 has been given to the effort by other donors, said Lee Borden, executive director for The Art Center.
