About Us

The Colgate University Alumni Arts Association (CAAA) strengthens the connection between Colgate alumni working across the arts. Through organized events and directory access, the CAAA brings together alumni working in museums, galleries, foundations, collections, advising, philanthropies, and more, including those at the intersection of the fine arts and other industries. The CAAA creates a space where alumni can foster relationships with one another, as well as with current students, in order to learn, network, and grow professionally.
