Brief Description:
The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is a privately supported 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting all forms of art in the greater Estes Valley. We provide free or affordable arts programming and act as a vital information and support resource for the arts community. We act kind of like a "Chamber for the Arts" for the greater Estes Valley. We serve over 42,000 individuals each year and continue to grow. Our volunteers dedicate over 8,000 hours of service to the community each year. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us.
Our overall mission is to ensure that the arts are an essential part of the cultural environment in the greater Estes Valley.
We have a Board of Directors that runs day to day operations and that set overall direction. We have important relationships with our Affiliate and Associate Members and our wonderful Media Members are always working to help the arts in the greater Estes Valley.

arts and business, schools or government as a result of networking the
various program needs with actual facility use.
We provide direct financial support of the local arts and artists
through a re-gifting grant program in which grants are awarded through an
application process. This support is funded via private donations.
We organize, support and coordinate several community art events each
