During this lively happy hour event, CBCA will release the 2021 Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture, presented by U.S. Bank, and host a dynamic panel discussion, infused with local entertainment and networking with cultural advocates, artists, business professionals, civic leaders and elected officials.

Panelists:

• Deven Shaff, Broomfield City Council Member

The 2021 Economic Activity Study will analyze data from both 2019 and 2020 collected from arts, cultural and scientific nonprofits organizations in the seven-county metro area who receive funding from the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).  Key metrics include cultural tourism, jobs, attendance, philanthropy and education. This report will include comparisons between the two years, as well as highlight longitudinal changes and the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  CBCA has been publishing this biennial report since 1993.

This study is a key advocacy tool to demonstrate the relevance and impact of the arts & cultural sector on our region. It is essential to identify future priorities, make the case for investment, and ensure the arts are at the table in community visioning and decision-making.
