Fort Collins Becomes a Creative District! (and holds a happy hour to celebrate!)

After a two year candidacy and competitive application process the Downtown Fort Collins Creative District has received certification by the Colorado Creative Industries Council as an official Creative District. Our district was selected along with only a handful of others from a pool of 15 Colorado cities and towns who applied to be certified this year. 

We are very excited and appreciative of all your feedback, ideas, participation, help and leadership that has helped us get this award.  The impact of artists and creatives in Fort Collins is evident and we hope to be the megaphone telling your stories, advocating for the industry and serving as a hub for arts and creative industry.

The Downtown Fort Collins Creative District will now begin to grow into the visions developed throughout this discovery process.  We will continue to work towards the district's goals in as we begin connecting with you, weaving this creative tapestry together on our exciting and challenging journey.  Continue to develop more creative ideas, solutions, events, and art, and let us know what you are doing so we can help support your efforts.

More to come as we develop, for now we want to say thank you and congratulations it's another step in our recognition for our vibrant arts, creative businesses, innovative spirit and economic impact! 

And so we want to celebrate! You are invited to join us for a fun casual celebration next week. Here are the details:
