Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region
Mission
MISSION: We champion our diverse creative community as a vital part of the region’s identity and economy through service, connection, and advocacy. The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (a.k.a. COPPR) is the nonprofit local arts agency that serves the City of Colorado Springs and the greater Pikes Peak region (El Paso and Teller Counties) in Colorado. Because of its unique regional role, the Cultural Office's programs each serve a need in the community that is not met by any other organization. We work to ensure that the creative sector grows in economic vitality and depth of impact, that creative workers can thrive in our community, and that the arts are leveraged to positively address regional economic development, education, cultural tourism, and quality of life. As the region's local arts agency, we aim to efficiently and cost-effectively to achieve immeasurably more than any one artist or cultural organization could do independently. The arts are an ecosystem - and at the Cultural Office, we want to ensure that all parts of that ecosystem are healthy, thriving, and fully integrated into the fabric of our community.
