Art opportunities in our region are thriving, and the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado is proud to support this growth. The foundation will address arts and culture needs across five counties and two sovereign nations with our third-quarter SPUR funding. The Community Foundation is helping to fill in some of those gaps with quarter three funding from the SPUR Fund. Regionally, funding will support:• The Colorado 250/150 Project in recognition of the 250th birthday of the United States and the 150th birthday of Colorado.
