The Morgan Community College Center for Arts and Community Enrichment (CACE) was launched in 2011. The mission of CACE is to enhance the quality of lives through artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual activities. CACE committees that identify and implement events each year include members from both the college and the community. The Visual Arts Committee is responsible for soliciting, choosing and managing exhibits for the CACE Gallery of Fine Art, located in the lower level of a historic building at 300 Main Street in downtown Fort Morgan, Colorado. In the spring of each year, the Visual Arts Committee chooses exhibits from local, regional and national artists for the ensuing year which runs July through June. The Visual Arts Committee chooses four artists from the applications received through CaFE.
