Arts Forward in 2024!

Seizing Opportunity - Together

Happy New Year to our region's creatives, makers, performers, patrons, disruptors and innovators! You are the soul of this place. Your contributions are making it greater every day. This time of fast regional growth presents some challenges, but also so many opportunities for us to get stronger, join forces, and be more relevant to our communities.

Your Cultural Office is committed to doing all we can to help you seize the best opportunities to build your capacity, connect further, and thrive in 2024! The game is changing around here, so we need new tools and a renewed sense of what is possible. Sometimes, we need to ask harder questions or get out of our own way, too Explore below and stay plugged in for empowering offerings to come through the year.


And (I will tell you this every chance I get) you are not alone. You are part of a movement. Every day, creatives from Cripple Creek to Peyton, from Monument to Fountain, are increasing their creative impact. There are ambitious capitol projects, emerging arts collectives, and new venues opening, too. I invite you to go all in with COPPeR and our inspiring arts community this year in pushing arts forward - together!

Angela Seals,

Executive Director
