CHA Center Overview

Founded in 1997, the Center for Humanities and the Arts (CHA) serves as a focus for humanistic scholarship and artistic creation across the Boulder campus. Each year, CHA selects a theme around which to organize its central activities: a year-long faculty and graduate student seminar, a lecture series, and a spring colloquium. CHA also supports innovative research and creative work through monthly "Work-in-Progress" sessions, and events with other units on campus. All of CHA's events are free and open to our various constituencies, and we also host special events for undergraduate students and for our friends in the community. Through all of its programs, CHA works to encourage interdepartmental and cross-campus dialogue, to raise the profile of the arts and humanities in Boulder, and to build support for scholarship and creative activity.
