Advocacy
Formerly Community Arts Partners (CAP)
We bring together organizations and interested parties to advocate for the arts around the Grand Valley. Year-round we advocate for arts & culture and the creative economy. Current events and calls for action are posted on our home page.
During election cycles, we hold arts and culture forums with Grand Junction City Council candidates and D51 School Board candidates. Through moderated questions, we learn how each candidate plans to include arts and culture in their platforms. See below for the 2023 District 51 School Board Candidate's answers. Watch for the 2025 D51 School Board Candidate Forum (Sept. 2025).
We are working with GJ City Council in support of a full-time director or coordinator for Arts and Culture. The Case Study is available for download at the bottom of this page. A full-time position would have a positive impact on the creative economy of Grand Junction and the region.
