Plans for the 2021 Business + Arts Lunch will be announced during the summer.
The annual Business+Arts Lunch is always one of the most colorful professional events of the year. Presented by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region and the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce & EDC, the annual Business+Arts Lunch features eclectic 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 2019 event was sold-out, with 400 business professionals, community leaders, and arts & cultural supporters in attendance.
The Lunch honors diverse collaborations and stories of arts & business “intersecting” in the Pikes Peak region in mutually beneficial ways. Each honoree’s story is told at the Lunch through an original video. Click the name of each 2019 honoree below to watch their video from the last event.
