Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver has the tenth largest downtown in the U.S. This energetic, young city has 300 days of sunshine, brilliant blue skies and stunning mountain scenery down every street. Downtown Denver is home to three new sports stadiums; more than 300 restaurants; a restored historic district filled with boutiques, restaurants and brewpubs, a collection of museums, a variety of galleries and shopping, the second largest performing arts center in the nation, three college campuses and even a unique downtown amusement park, Elitch Gardens.
The Art Institute of Colorado is situated in the Golden Triangle Museum District – a quirky, artsy, eclectic neighborhood. The Golden Triangle neighborhood hosts Denver’s most prominent cultural attractions in the Civic Center Cultural Complex: the Denver Art Museum, the Michael Graves-designed Central Denver Public Library, Colorado History Museum, Denver Mint, Byers-Evans House and Civic Center Park, and Acoma Street – the primary corridor through the Golden Triangle to the Civic Center Cultural Complex.
From a professional technical-career college known as The Colorado Institute of Art to our current The Art Institute of Colorado, we’re proud to celebrate more than 50 years of helping creative people learn the skills they need to become a success in their chosen field.
