Center for Visual Art (CVA) & Emmanuel Gallery

The Center for Visual Art

The Center for Visual Art (CVA) is the off-campus art gallery of Metropolitan State University of Denver. The CVA is a division of the Metropolitan State University of Denver Art Department. In addition to showing significant contemporary art, the award-winning CVA serves as an interactive art laboratory for Metropolitan State University of Denver students and the larger community. The CVA was founded in 1990 to expose students to leading-edge art and to broaden MSU Denver's art program. The non-profit art space makes an important contribution to visual art offerings available in Denver and the Rocky Mountain West, bringing in art that would not otherwise be seen here.

The Metropolitan State University of Denver art department is dedicated to providing their students with an unparallel urban learning environment and a strong sense of community within the local art scene. The Center for Visual Art contributes to Metropolitan State University's status as the only public higher education art program in Colorado to maintain accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

The Emmanuel Gallery

The Emmanuel Gallery, located on the Auraria Campus, Denver, exhibits work from visual artists as well as faculty and students from the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center downtown Denver campus, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Community College of Denver.
