The Cultural Office’s Program Manager of Creative Economy, Dylan Craddock, has been accepted to the prestigious London School of Economics’ Masters program in Local Economic Development. Her last full day on staff at the Cultural Office will be August 29th.

Since June 2023, Dylan has led the new Creative Economy program to support the vitality of the Pikes Peak region’s creative sector.  In this role, she took the reins of our region’s annual Arts Month, and built new services for the sector like the LEVEL UP! Speaker Series, Creative Sector Summit and Creative Professionals Night, and the Creative Sector Partnership with Pikes Peak Workforce Center. Through her research capabilities, she completed the most recent Arts & Economic Prosperity Study, and has begun new work in cultural asset mapping. She has built stronger relationships with leaders of our region’s economic development offices, chambers of commerce and businesses to benefit the creative sector. Through Dylan’s strength, the creative sector’s capacity has been strengthened.

The Cultural Office wishes her all the best in this next exciting chapter in London and we appreciate all that she has contributed to our mission and our community. Thank you, Dylan! We will miss you so much!
