What

The Cultural Office unifies the power of arts & culture across our community.
Through centralized services, gatherings, and strategic programs, we make creative workers & organizations more powerful together and positively impactful for the Pikes Peak region. We are proud to be our community’s local arts agency, founded by local arts leaders, to weave together a future “community united by creativity.”

Why

At this time in local and national history, the arts offer us many things we really need: belonging, connection, innovation, mental and social well-being. However, they often struggle as small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs with limited resources. The Cultural Office offers centralized services to help them grow, connect, and more powerfully deliver the results our region needs to truly thrive.

Goals

Today, we’re building our region’s reputation as a fun and surprising destination for arts & entertainment. We’re building the ability of arts groups to grow, earn revenue, hire workers, and thrive. We’re increasing access to arts education to support mental health for all ages. Join us!
