Arts and culture are an important part of a vibrant community, and strong community ties are crucial to a resilient, healthy economy. The Pikes Peak Region is lucky to have many organizations dedicated to Art in its many forms. September’s Sustainability in Progress meeting, hosted by the Peak Alliance for a Sustainable Future, provided a preview of Arts Month (October), plus a glimpse at two exciting venues – the Manitou Art Center and the Ent Center for the Arts.

Your emcees are Drew Johnson of TechWears and Christopher Aaby of the Catamount Institute.

Speakers:

Andy Vick - Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region

Natalie Johnson - Manitou Art Center

Aisha Ahmad-Post - Ent Center for the Arts, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs​​​​​​​
