Creative Alliance Manitou Springs

The Manitou Springs Arts Council was formed in 2004 and is responsible for the procurement and placement of public art in Manitou Springs and acts as a liaison between artists and the community.

The Arts Council’s main program is the Manitou Springs Creative District, which enhances the economic vitality of the community by inspiring artists, creatives and visitors while preserving the unique cultural, historic and natural setting.

The Manitou Springs Arts Council and Manitou Springs Creative District are now the CReative AlliaNcE Manitou Springs or CRANE, for short.
