The Art Institute of Colorado was a for-profit art and culinary school in Denver, Colorado., United States. It briefly operated as a non-profit institution before it closed in 2018. The school was one of a number of Art Institutes, a franchise of for-profit art colleges with many branches in North America, owned and operated by Education Management Corporation. EDMC owned the college from 1975 until 2017, when, facing significant financial problems and declining enrollment, the company sold the Art Institute of Colorado, along with 30 other Art Institute schools, to Dream Center Education, a Los Angeles–based Pentecostal organization.[1][2][3] Dream Center permanently closed 18 Art Institute schools, including the Art Institute of Colorado, at the end of 2018.[4][5]
