To celebrate the Grand Opening of the multi-million dollar renovation of the old Fort Collins High School, the School of the Arts has a new symbol. On the new construction exteriors and throughout the interior spaces, Slaterpaull, the project architect, repeated the original, leaded windowpane motif in their design. The use of the "divided square" motif effectively ties the old to the new, reflecting upon the unique and wonderful history of the building, while moving forward with its second life as the University Center for the Arts. "The motif is a strong symbol that appropriately represents the departments and divisions that make up the School of the Arts as a whole," says Linny Frickman, University Art Museum Director. The new identity will be used throughout School of the Arts' online sites and printed pieces in conjunction with the Colorado State University logo.

 

 

Singing in this quality, family friendly production, and as part of the OFC Appentice Artists Program, are current CSU Master's of Music in Vocal Performance student Tracy Kaufman as Musetta the singer, and 2008 Master's Graduate, Devon Shaff as Schaunard the musician. Last year the Apprentice Artist program was established between OFC and CSU where students can earn a Master of Music in Vocal Performance at CSU while singing in the main stage productions and the Educational Engagement program with OFC. This is a highly competitive program, and is the only one like it in the state, and one of only a handful in the nation.
