The Cultural Office unifies the power of arts & culture
across our community.

Through centralized services, gatherings, and strategic programs,

we make creative workers & organizations more powerful together and positively impactful for the Pikes Peak region.

Our Vision:

A Thriving Community United by Creativity

The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (a.k.a. COPPR) is the nonprofit local arts agency that serves the City of Colorado Springs and the greater Pikes Peak region (El Paso and Teller Counties) in Colorado. We work to ensure that the creative sector grows in economic vitality and depth of impact, that creative workers can thrive in our community, and that the arts are leveraged to positively address regional economic development, education, cultural tourism, and quality of life.

Beyond the Cultural Office's regional leadership & advocacy,
our programs focus on:

Cultural Promotion & Tourism

Creative Economy

Arts Education

Our Mission

We advance the arts as a driving force in our region’s identity and economy.
We connect, cultivate, and champion our creative community as our region’s local arts agency.
