Shining the light On Community –
Colorado Business Committee of the Arts (CBCA)
This month, we’re honored to highlight and share our long-standing partnership with the Colorado Business Committee of the Arts (CBCA), an organization that advances Colorado’s creative economy by connecting business and the arts.
CBCA
What They Do.
Founded in 1985, CBCA was created by a Denver real estate developer who brought together a distinguished, forward-thinking group of Colorado business leaders who believed in the importance and value of arts and culture. CBCA envisions a Colorado where arts and business are integrated to catalyze and build strong and vibrant communities.
As a champion of artists, cultural organizations and creative industries, CBCA advances Denver and Colorado as a cultural hub and validates the arts as an integral part of our regional economy. CBCA also demonstrates that art is smart for business by providing the business community with access, exposure and visibility for their investment in the arts.
CBCA has evolved to serve the mutually beneficial intersection of arts and business with industry-leading programs and training for members and the broad community such as ArtsConnect and Leadership Arts. The organization’s work has also expanded to include the for-profit creative industries with programming and professional development for individual artists and creative enterprises, like Colorado Attorneys for the Arts.
How We Partner
Denver Center for the Performing Arts is proud to partner with the CBCA in the following ways:
- Leadership Development & Arts Based Learning. DCPA Education and Community Engagement team facilitate workshops and learning experiences for CBCA’s annual Leadership Arts cohort, helping emerging civic and business leaders strengthen leadership skills through arts-based practices.
- Hosting and Space Partnership. The DCPA is honored to partner each year to provide venue and meeting space for Leadership Arts sessions, networking events, and cohort gatherings, creating opportunities for participants to experience the arts firsthand while learning in a cultural setting. CBCA has also partnered with our Events team to host their annual Business for the Arts Award luncheon in the Seawell Ballroom
- Arts Advocacy and Community Engagement. DCPA and CBCA partner in advancing awareness of the role arts and culture play in strengthening communities, workforce development, and economic vitality. The partnership is bolstered through shared values of collaboration, creativity and belonging.
Our partnership with the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts reflects a shared commitment to developing leaders, strengthening community connections, and advancing the arts in Colorado. Through hosting Leadership Arts sessions, facilitating professional development workshops, convening business and community leaders, and providing meaningful opportunities for engagement with the arts, we have helped support CBCA’s mission of connecting business and culture while cultivating the next generation of civic and nonprofit leaders.
