Nurture the Talent. Let Artists Be Artists.

By -
Summary. According to its brochure, Imagine 2020, Denver's recently announced initiative “…provides a strategic vision for arts, culture and creativity. It makes a call to action to city agencies, cultural institutions, businesses, civic leaders, neighborhood- and community-based organizations, and residents to make this collective vision a reality.”
Details. If you’re into details you can read the full plan: Imagine 2020 Plan and survey results: Imagine 2020 Survey Results Presentation.
My Take. Very few artists can be – read that: live the life of - an artist from the moment he or she realizes the calling, and even fewer can earn a living as an artist. Most artists fit into one or more of these categories: discovered their potential and put it aside to earn a living and/or care for others; didn’t have the opportunity to discover their potential because they were always earning a living and/or caring for others; were discouraged from being an artist for a variety of reasons; finally had the opportunity to find his or her way as an artist after earning a living for 25, 30, or 40 years, or more.
Our Mission. Two-fold: (a) Nurture the talent. (b) Allow an environment in which the artists can start early and continue their art careers through their entire lives. Period.
