City honored for its commitment to arts institutions and arts tourism
Boulder County Arts Alliance and Boulder Arts and Crafts Gallery plan public celebration
Once again the readers of AmericanStyle magazine have named Boulder as among America's Top 25 Arts Destinations, ranking it No. 8 in this year's survey. The magazine recognizes the power of the arts in promoting economic development and community revitalization.
Through the poll, readers tell AmericanStyle where they’ve been going to view, enjoy and shop for great art. Says publisher Wendy Rosen, “We all know that art and handcraft galleries are among the few remaining places where you can find authentic, made-in- America gifts and art products.”
While Boulder has received such recognition numerous times in the past and from a variety of sources, this marks the first time that the public will be invited to join in celebrating the honor. In an unusual collaboration between the non-profit and for profit sectors of the arts community, the Boulder County Arts Alliance and the Boulder Arts and Crafts Gallery have joined forces to orchestrate an artful ceremony surrounding the award’s presentation to the City of Boulder.
Among the individuals and organizations contributing to this celebration are Philip Sneed of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Frequent Flyers Productions Aerial Dance Theatre, Helander Dance Theater Company, and The Dairy Center for the Arts. Receiving the award on behalf of the City will be Mayor, Matthew Applebaum. Those in attendance can expect fun, food, and entertainment galore.
