SCWCC Business Lunch
Program Topic: Arts Month: Why the business of Arts is Important to all Businesses
This October, arts & culture take center stage throughout Colorado Springs and across the Pikes Peak region, as our creative community celebrates Arts Month 2021!
The Arts generate over $153 million in the Pikes Peak Region each year. Supporting the arts is supporting an economic driver in our community. Come hear from three Award-winning artists on how their work is bringing change and dollars that are welcomed in Colorado Springs at our next Luncheon on October 18.
