Analia.Weberabout 5 years agoOn the Carnegie Center: Great opportunity to have a black box performance space within a building that can serve the local makers and Foco.
It can serve as: performance space, education center for grants etc, research and collaboration within the science and artistic community, a place for ideas to percolate and grow, ability to house residencies and so many other things.

What does Fort Collins arts and culture look like?
over 5 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.Because culture in a community is a collaborative process, we want to hear from you about the draft plan overview. Please answer one of the questions below (You can also vote for ideas that are submitted by others.)

joover 5 years agoShowcase World Premieres
Fort Collins to be a city of "firsts" in the arts, let it be international. Dance, music, theater, visual art that invites others into our community.
1 comment2joover 5 years agoNeighborhood Art Hubs
Each neighborhood area utilizes a local park/space for pop-up art festivities: performance: street theatre, music, open mic, craft fair, poetry slam, etc.
0 comment2PhilDonaldsonover 5 years agoPop Up Performance Fleet
Instead of expecting the people to come to the arts, bring the arts to the people. A modest fleet of shipping container stages could provide enrichment to underserved neighborhoods and peoples. This could also provide expanded performance opportunities for marginalized and ethnocentric artists (dancers, musicians, actors, performance artists, spoken word artists, etc.) https://www.isospaces.co.uk/portfolio/boxpark-popup-stage-shipping-container/
0 comment1Kit Bakerover 5 years agoProvide support for attending arts and culture conferences
Our artists and cultural entrepreneurs need to have access to the latest ideas and developments in order to play their full part in contributing to a thriving arts and culture scene in Fort Collins. Yet few can afford to cover the necessary travel, accommodation and fees. Fort Collins should launch a travel fund that can expand city-wide access to the trends and business practices that are equal to improving the health and fuel the growth of our sector.

5DawnPutneyover 6 years agoCulture Night -- Annual culture night out
Host an annual Culture Night. It could be based on the Culture Night model in Belfast and around the world. It is Belfast's largest, most exciting and inclusive cultural celebration. Culture Night brings together over 300 free events across 150 locations in Belfast City Centre in a single day. The event attracts over 85,000 visitors from Belfast, Northern Ireland and beyond. We attended in 2016 and it was one of the most amazing events I've ever been to!
7Bruce Freestoneover 6 years agoImplement a dedicated revenue stream for not-for-profit arts organizations.
A game-changing source of revenue that can truly build and shape the institutions capacity for growth and sustainability. This needs to come from a community desire to INVEST in their cultural and arts institutions. It cannot be just another small project grant award. Proven providers need to be able to budget against staff and programming needs without scrambling each year to simply remain viable. The 501(c)(3) agencies are all underfunded and understaffed.
