Travel the world and see great art with Front Range Forum facilitator Tim Van Schmidt in a colorful five-week course for the Winter term.

When not busy photographing the Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen, the longtime Fort Collins writer and photographer admits he has a strong addiction to visiting art museums throughout the world. He's turned that "addiction" into a YouTube cottage industry, releasing 75 videos featuring art from Spain, England, Russia, Austria, Germany, Norway, Mexico and all over the United States.

The first session of "Great World Art" will include an introductory “Grand Tour" of art from major museums collected during Schmidt's travels. Other sessions will cover great artists, great museums, great street art and great art in Fort Collins.
