“Fremont Center for the Arts fosters and enriches the cultural and economic health for the Greater Fremont County Region through partnerships, presentations, education, and preservation of the Arts for present and future generations” 

Fremont Center for the Arts hosts monthly rotating fine art exhibits, arts education, a member artist gift shop, and special events year round. The FCA building is a beautiful former U.S. Post Office in the Art Deco style of the 1930s, currently listed on the Register of Historic Places. Inside the front lobby, several regional artists have completed murals depicting one of several movies filmed in the Fremont area from the 1930s through the 1970s. Visitors may also tour the lovely FCA sculpture garden next to the FCA building on Macon Plaza. From November 2016 through April 2017, FCA offers free public admission to exhibits.

In 2017, FCA will launch its 1st Annual, Southern Colorado Color – Art, Culture & Local History Exhibit.
