Letter from CBCA Executive Director, Christin Crampton Day
Looking back at CBCA’s 2024 highlight reel, it was a year of listening, learning, and mobilizing collective efforts to advance arts and business in Colorado.
In summer 2024, CBCA intentionally gathered input from historically marginalized and rural communities through online focus groups and a statewide listening tour to all four corners of the state as part of “Creative Dialogues: Imagining the Future of Arts & Culture in Colorado.” As a result of hearing from over 800 arts and culture workers and advocates around the state, CBCA developed Colorado’s Arts Policy Framework, believed to be the state’s first arts advocacy platform.
Perhaps one of the biggest achievements in 2024 was through CBCA’s leadership role with state arts advocacy and the passage of three major funding wins in the 2024 legislative session.
CBCA also welcomed new leadership in January 2024 with Nancy Walsh, Executive Vice President of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, assuming the role of Chair of the Board of Directors.
I want to thank CBCA’s staff, board, members, sponsors, donors, funders, partners, volunteers, event attendees and program participants for all your collective support and for sharing your ideas and feedback last year. I also want to express gratitude to the many individuals who took action, raised their voices, shared testimony, and advocated through the Colorado Arts Action Network. Because of you, 2024 achieved a historic advancement of the arts, culture and creative sector that will benefit our state’s rural and urban communities and citizens for many years to come!
