Learning Labs isn't just an interactive workshop—it’s a chance to dig deep, ask hard questions, and build real tools for change. Join experts as they unpack the roots and rise of White Christian Nationalism, explore powerful counterstrategies, and help you sharpen your voice to advocate for a more inclusive, democratic future.

🎨 Recently, Iliff School of Theology celebrated the grand opening of the Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery, named in honor of our Dean of the Faculty.

In collaboration with curator and designer Nicole Longnecker, the inaugural exhibition, Together We Rise, brings together artists across disciplines—from painting and sculpture to ceramics, illustration, photography, and printmaking.

Featuring exclusively Latino artists, the exhibition explores the visual diaspora of identity, culture, and lived experience. While each artist brings a distinct creative voice, their work collectively tells powerful stories that invite reflection on unity, resilience, and perseverance.

This new gallery space is designed to foster connection—offering a place where art sparks meaningful conversation and brings people together.

Visit the exhibition: Stop by Iliff School of Theology to experience Together We Rise.

📆 Monday–Thursday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
📆 Friday: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

We recommend calling reception before your visit and arriving at least one hour before closing: (303) 744-1287
