As the local arts agency for El Paso & Teller counties of Colorado, the Cultural Office follows the evolving policy changes in Washington D.C. and their effects on the creative sector. With the fast-changing Executive Orders of 2025, our Executive Director, Angela Seals, is regularly participating in calls and updates with leaders from Americans for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, Colorado Creative Industries, Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, and more to understand policies, response, and guidance.

COPPR is a nonpartisan organization committed to supporting our region’s creative workers, businesses, and nonprofits to thrive across time and changing policies.
