Arts and culture bring people together through experiences they can share: a performance, a piece of music, an exhibition or a neighborhood gathering.
The National Endowment for the Arts’ Colorado profile reports that arts and cultural production added approximately $20 billion to the state economy in 2023. This is statewide sector research, not a measure of Spira Giving Colorado’s impact.
The same profile describes participation in live music, theater, dance and art exhibitions. These experiences connect cultural organizations with the people and places around them.
For Spira Giving Colorado, the public record offers a more specific view: selected grants to charitable organizations working in Colorado’s cultural community. Explore our giving record alongside the original sources to understand the distinction.
