Exciting changes are happening with Pikes Peak Community College’s Arts Programs. Our talented art, dance, music and theatre students will have a new space to explore and develop their craft. The new

Studio West building, slated to open October 2019, will house a black box theatre, dance rehearsal and performance space and an expanded art gallery, adding to Downtown Colorado Springs’ already thriving art scene.

All PPCC cultural events are free, open to the public and subject to change. Please visit our website and Facebook page for updates. Donation of non-perishable food items for the student pantry are appreciated at performance events.
