The Colorado Creative Industries (CCI), a division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, is hosting its inaugural Summit, Thursday and Friday at the DoubleTree hotel in Breckenridge. The event is titled Cultivating Common Ground and features a convening of artist-entrepreneurs, owners of creative sector businesses and nonprofit cultural workers for two days of presentations, discussions and workshops. Attendees will network with fellow creatives from around the state. The Summit is also a first step to discovering how the state of Colorado can work with for-profit art entities, instead of just non-profits, according to CCI Summit project coordinator Kim Harrell.
Day one opens with a keynote luncheon featuring Colorado?s Matt Morris, who collaborates with Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce. The day wraps up with an exclusive art walk in the Historic District. The second day features more than a dozen professional development workshops and culminates with the Governor?s Arts Award luncheon, with live music by Scott McCormick?s new band Lee Avenue. This year?s Governor?s Arts Award is shared by the Town of Carbondale and the City of Lafayette, and both mayors will be present to receive the award, a commissioned painting by Colorado artist John Lintott.
The more than 35 speakers and panelists include: Daniel Junge, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker; Alyson Stanfield, creative business coach/
writer; Birgitta De Pree, actor/theatre educator; Scott Aller, business development manager for 5280Live/Ticketmaster; LeVar Battle, writer, community curator and digital strategist; Jolt, public artist; Leanne Goebel, art writer, critic and journalist; Dave Ratner, entertainment attorney; and Donald Zuckerman, Colorado Film Commissioner.
Registration for the Summit includes all meals and workshops. Early registration is $95 through today and then increases to $105; $75 for students. Attendees may also attend only the Governor?s Arts Award Luncheon for $30. Hotel accommodations are available at the DoubleTree and can be booked by calling (888) 355-6318, group coupon code G23. CCI was established July 2010, merging the former Colorado Council on the Arts, the Office of Film, Television and Media, and the state?s Art in Public Places program.
