DENVER - Mayor Michael B. Hancock today appointed an Executive Leadership Team of arts, business and civic leaders to launch a robust community input process to help determine a comprehensive vision for the Denver Performing Arts Complex and Boettcher Concert Hall.

 

Denver Arts & Venues is leading the arts complex re-imagining project and will convene monthly meetings of the ELT, which is comprised of 29 individuals.

 


"This team will guide a thoughtful, measured study of options for the entire arts complex and its surrounding neighborhood

I am thankful to all those who will serve the city on this team as we examine this exciting opportunity to re-imagine the arts complex and provide a useful, dynamic and accessible public cultural asset."


- Mayor Michael Hancock

The ELT will work with Arts & Venues in a structured planning process that will include meetings, data gathering, and input from various stakeholders, public- and private-sector leaders, patrons and the community. The team will provide recommended options to the Mayor's Office for Boettcher Concert Hall and the arts complex in mid-2015 and a final recommendation for an arts complex master plan by year-end 2015.

 

The city's Community Planning and Development department will support the work of the ELT with a coordinated process to determine how the arts complex will enhance the neighborhood, including the Colorado Convention Center and parts of downtown adjacent to the complex.

 VIVID AND PASSIONATE.


Rare is the art in the U.S. that features Central American men or women as the heroes or heroines of their own story.

 

Enrique's Journey is a must see for everyone especially Central American Angelenos who will be inspired by seeing one of their own on stage.
