This exhibition explores the rhizome as a metaphor for collective creative resistance—an underground, non-hierarchical network that spreads horizontally and unpredictably, mirroring Artnauts’ collaborative model and global reach. Constantly evolving through processes of self-creation, the rhizome parallels Artnauts, which “uses the visual arts as a tool for addressing global issues while connecting with artists from around the world.”

Artists in Rhizome: Origins were selected for their ties to the University of Colorado Boulder, where Artnauts originated. The exhibition will be accompanied by a dynamic program of talks and public art-making events.

On view September 4, 2026–December 2026.

Campus collections gather and preserve objects that ignite research and inspire creativity. In CU Collects: Imagining a Creative Campus, works from the CU Art Museum and the University Libraries and Archives highlight the breadth of artistic and creative materials held across campus. Built with care over time, these collections are accessible to students, faculty and to communities in the Front Range and beyond. Together, they demonstrate the central role of arts and culture at CU Boulder, addressing a shared history of inquiry and engagement. 

On view July 7, 2026–Spring 2027.

Coins convey powerful messages through their symbolic imagery. These tiny objects reveal how the ancient Greeks conceived of themselves and their relationships to their communities, histories, and beliefs, both religious and political. They bear information about geographies, power and propaganda, artistic techniques and more. The coins in this installation illustrate these many dimensions of ancient Greek culture, giving researchers and visitors a tangible connection to the past. 

This exhibit was created in association with a class on Ancient Greek Numismatics taught in Fall 2025 by Elspeth Dusinberre.
