'The First 100 Days!'

Visit the photo exhibit “The First 100 Days!” and speak to the staff who have developed this collection of photographs.

Then embark on the First Friday Art Walk through the rest of Old Colorado City. Join us for light refreshments, and to view the art on display in our meeting room.

Come and witness history! A new exhibit from Pikes Peak Library District’s Special Collections Photo Archives captures the overwhelming response of Colorado Springs to the inauguration of President Donald Trump and his first 100 days in office. Over 400 photographs were contributed by members of our community, and the best of those images are featured in this small, but interesting exhibit.

From the 7,000 participants in the Women’s March in January, to the March for Science in April, these compelling photographs capture the visual history of this unique moment in the history of Colorado Springs and the United States.

Numerous groups served as organizers, sponsors, and supporters of these events. Included were SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice), the El Paso County Republican Party, UCOS (Unite Colorado Springs), NAACP Colorado Montana Wyoming State Conference, NAACP Colorado Springs Branch 4001, the Colorado Springs Council for Justice, and the Pikes Peak Justice & Peace Commission.
