Colorado Mountain College announced last week that it received a $175,000 grant from Denver-based Boettcher Foundation. The money is going to be used to upgrade Cooper Commons — home to the school’s ArtShare programs, as well as regular arts shows.
The Boettcher grant is the first component of the school’s efforts to match money received from the Garfield Federal Mineral Lease District.
And though the school has the funds on hand to match the $750,000 from the Mineral Lease District, it is attempting to reach its two million dollar goal through outside fundraising.
Construction could start late this year.
