Arts for Colorado:
Arts for Colorado is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to improving
the climate for culture throughout the state. Because public sector funding--and
particularly state arts funding--has played an important role in building
Colorado's cultural infrastructure, Arts for Colorado focuses much of its
attention on the preservation and expansion of state arts support. Telephone:

Arts Learning Task Force:
In November 2006, the Colorado Council on the Arts convened an Arts
Learning Task Force charged with developing a vision for
arts learning and
drafting policy recommendations for the agency’s role. Task Force
members
were chosen to represent a broad constituency of influence:
educators,
school, district and state education administrators, legislators,
higher
education, the state board of education, business leaders,
foundation
directors, municipal and youth service agencies, parents,
artist, arts
advocates and arts education managers.
