Presented by the Boulder County Arts Alliance and the Boulder Chamber. Moderated by Justin Veach, Board President, Boulder County Arts Alliance

The arts not only drive revenue and support the local economy, they foster an increased sense of community as well as promote empathy, tolerance and respect for difference at a time when people feel more isolated and disconnected than ever. Join us as we discuss the crucial role the arts play in the cultural and civic life of our city with the candidates running for election to Boulder City Council.

Presentado por la Alianza de las Artes del Condado de Boulder y la Cámara de Comercio de Boulder. Moderado por Justin Veach, Presidente de la Junta de la Alianza de las Artes del Condado de Boulder.

Las artes no solo generan ingresos y apoyan la economía local, sino que también fomentan un mayor sentido de comunidad y promueven la empatía, la tolerancia y el respeto por la diferencia en un momento en que las personas se sienten más aisladas y desconectadas que nunca. Acompáñenos a conversar sobre el papel crucial que desempeñan las artes en la vida cultural y cívica de nuestra ciudad con los candidatos que se postulan para el Concejo Municipal de Boulder.
