    Through the kind generosity of the late art patron, Anthony "Capps" Capozzolo, scholarships and opportunities are made available to talented and aspiring artists who wish to fulfill their artistic dreams and accomplish their academic goals.

    The art department relies heavily on the close interaction of the student with their art advisor in planning schedules and programs. The CSU Pueblo Art Club is a university sanctioned organization that sponsors parties, special events, field trips and the Annual Student Art Exhibit. These activities provide a social focus for students, family, faculty and community while establishing a friendly and informal atmosphere for the department in general.

    A committee from the Occhiato University Center rewards creative excellence by purchasing award winning student artwork from the Student Art Exhibit each year. A dedicated student exhibition space provides ambitious students the opportunity for one and two-person shows of their work.

    The University Fine Art Gallery has been established as a meeting place for the academic community. Professional exhibits, presented bimonthly, along with lectures and university activities provide students the opportunity to experience the best in contemporary and multicultural art. Art exhibitions and receptions serve to introduce art and artists to students.
