Arts Month Proclamations

Each year, the Cultural Office’s executive director, Andy Vick, “hits the road” to advocate in support of our local arts community, and to obtain Arts Month Proclamations from a number of area municipalities. Proclamations are secured through the official public process, and a formal presentation is made in front of each body of elected leaders to help cultivate strong working relationships, to provide educational opportunities about the economic impact of our creative sector, and to raise awareness for the local Arts Month initiative that takes place each October across the Pikes Peak region.

Proclamation presentations are typically conducted during public meetings (usually towards the beginning of the meeting), and are open to everyone. Local artists, arts supporters, and community members are all encouraged to attend and lend their support and enthusiasm! Pictures of previous Arts Month Proclamations are below.

The schedule of proclamations for Arts Month 2018 is as follows:
