Business & Arts Lunch

The 2018 Business & Arts Lunch will be held at the Antlers Hotel in Downtown Colorado Springs on Friday, October 5th. Click here to learn more about sponsorship opportunities for the 2018 event.

The annual Business & Arts Lunch is always one of the most colorful professional events of the year, featuring live performances on multiple stages, local art for sale, delicious food and drink, and multiple awards for leadership at the intersections of business and creativity.

The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region and the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce & EDC are pleased to present the Business & Arts Lunch annually each October. Our organizations understand that a thriving and innovative business community succeeds only through the presence of an equally robust arts and cultural community.
