BACKGROUND

Lynx Creative Collective is a CU Denver student organization sponsored by the College of Arts and Media and funded by the Dean’s Student Innovation Award. It is our organizations mission to bring together the creative forces that span across the college with the goal of producing a high-quality print and digital publication, while fostering an engaged community established on inclusivity and diversity. 

We are committed to uplifting underrepresented communities on our CU Denver campus, educating, strengthening and advocating through guest lectures while spotlighting and supporting student artists. 

PROBLEM

Within the higher education environment, there is a lack of resources and organizations that offer creative collaboration outside of the classroom.
