Staff & Council

At Colorado Creative Industries, we are dedicated to the cultural, educational, and economic welfare of the state of Colorado. The council, a group of private citizens selected by the Governor and recognized for their diverse and knowledgeable perspectives on the arts and their insight into community and state interests, creates policy to benefit the arts in Colorado. The staff is charged with enacting the policies and programs put forth by the council and serving the needs of artists, organizations, and citizens statewide.

If you have questions or comments about the arts in Colorado, the council and its administrative staff would like to hear from you.
