Foundation's $1M donations will expand arts programs at Pikes Peak Community College, UCCS
The local state university and state community college have each received $1 million from the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation to expand arts programs.
It's the largest donation in the 48-year history of Pikes Peak Community College, according to Lisa James, executive director of the school's foundation.
"We couldn't be more grateful," she said in a news release. "This level of cultural investment gives us more than upgraded programs, equipment and facilities. It gives us tremendous momentum. Where that takes us in the next decade will be nothing short of astounding."
The $1 million to the Galleries of Contemporary Art at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is the largest donation for that program since 1981, when a $400,000 gift enabled the gallery to open, according to Daisy McGowan, director.
