(Part 2/3) 2025 Boulder City Council Candidates Forum on the Arts

Date: Tuesday, September 30, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM Venue: Boulder Chamber - 2440 Pearl St, Boulder Presented by the Boulder County Arts Alliance, Create Boulder, and the Boulder Chamber. Moderated by Justin Veach, Board President, Boulder County Arts Alliance From fueling our local economy to fostering empathy, connection, and pride of place, the arts touch every part of civic life. As Boulder faces big questions about growth, equity, and the future of downtown, creative voices must be part of the conversation. In this Forum, Boulder City Council candidates share how they’ll support the arts—and why a strong creative sector matters to Boulder’s future. CREATE Boulder put a lot of care into organizing a cohesive and informative briefing memo. This memo was provided to candidates prior to the forum, and we encourage voters to read the briefing memo as well! This document covers a broad range of topics affecting Arts and Culture locally, and includes links to excellent local and national research initiatives on Arts and Culture.
