The Creative Stays program is an ongoing digital campaign to attract cultural tourists to Colorado Springs and the surrounding community. The inspiration for the program came directly from Arts Vision 2030, the recently released 10-year cultural plan for our region. Funded by a $20,000 grant from the Colorado Tourism Office, and with content creation by Springs Media and Jason-Fleming.com, Creative Stays will eventually feature a series of 13 weekend getaway itineraries curated by a diverse group of local creatives. Each of these local creatives will share a little about themselves, and recommend some of their favorite lodging accommodations, community attractions, restaurants, entertainment activities, hidden hangouts, and not-to-miss cultural destinations.

Perfect for out-of-town visitors and local residents, Creative Stays offers a whole new way to explore and discover the wonderful attractions and amenities that Colorado’s Pikes Peak region has to offer. You can follow these itineraries exactly, or pick and choose to customize your own favorite experiences. Sometimes all you need to make your weekend getaway perfect is a little creativity!
