BCAA is proud to be the Fiscal Sponsor for Boulder Arts Week. Boulder Arts Week is Boulder’s only large-scale, inclusive celebration of our community’s vibrant arts and cultural offerings and our city’s thriving creativity. In 2020, Boulder Arts Week rapidly pivoted to an online format in order to continue providing FREE AND DISCOUNTED arts and culture offerings during the COVID-19 crisis. Boulder Arts Week Online ensured that our community of artists and organizations remained connected and supportive during a remarkably challenging time.

Our Fiscal Sponsorship program entitles individual artists and cultural organizations without 501(c)(3) status to apply to funders and solicit tax deductible donations under the auspices of Boulder County Arts Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Fiscal Sponsorship is essentially a re-granting program for grant awards and contributions to specific pre-approved artists or organizations intended for purposes directly related to BCAA's purpose:

To provide leadership and resources for arts organizations, artists, educators, and the community of Boulder County.
