As a vital part of the network of museum and gallery spaces at Colorado State University, the Hatton Gallery provides an important venue for exhibiting contemporary and historical art.

The gallery strives to ENGAGE with the GLOBAL ARTS community through local, national, and international exhibitions showcasing the work of emerging and established artists alike.

At the same time, the Hatton Gallery seeks to foster the CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT of students in the Department of Art and Art History and provide an exhibition space for EXPERIMENTAL works by undergraduate and graduate students alike. The Hatton Gallery is also committed to creating an EDUCATIONAL environment, allowing faculty to draw on exhibitions as teaching tools on topics in the history of art, museum studies, and curatorial practices.
