Arts Peak Arts Fund launches Wednesday
Posted by Edie Adelstein on Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 7:59 PM
The second year of the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region's annual art organization fundraiser kicked off today, with 18 nonprofits slated to receive the money.
Last year, the Peak Arts Fund pulled in $35,995 to 15 orgs, with hopes to hit a goal of $50,000 in 2013.
- COPPER
You can donate as much as you want, but for $60, you receive a Peak Radar Pass, which gets you discounts to restaurants and other businesses, passes or coupons to local events and more, all of which is listed online.
As before, donors can only contribute to the program as a whole, and not an individual organization; COPPeR's outlook is a holistic one, e.g., "a rising tide raises all boats." However, all underwriting and administrative costs have already been covered by the Founders Circle made up of: the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, Bee Vradenburg Foundation, Inasmuch Foundation and Kirkpatrick Family Fund.
So 100 percent of proceeds will benefit the following:
• Chamber Orchestra of the Springs (new this year)
• Colorado College Summer Music Festival (new this year)
• Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale
• Colorado Springs Conservatory
• Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
• Colorado Springs Philharmonic
• Colorado Springs Youth Symphony
• Cottonwood Center for the Arts
• Opera Theatre of the Rockies
• Ormao Dance Company (new this year)
• Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival
• Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts
Also like last year, the initiative will only run through May 1.
