The National Endowment for the Arts recently awarded $65,000 in grants to four Colorado Springs organizations.
Chamber Orchestra of the Springs received $10,000 for a music project; Colorado College collected $15,000 for a multidisciplinary project; Sprinkle Art (aka Imagination Celebration) was given $30,000 for a multidisciplinary project; and University of Colorado at Colorado Springs won $10,000 for a theater project.
This is the 10th grant Imagination Celebration has received from the endowment.
“I really love that they value what goes on in the community,” said Executive Director Deborah Thornton. “We’ve done projects with their help for decades now. They demonstrate that they value what goes on in small towns, cities away from the coast and rural communities.”
Denver actor Erik Sandvold plays The Poet in Theatreworksâ rebooted production of âAn Iliad.â The show was canceled right before opening night last year. âIâm grateful to have that proof that a beautiful work of art will mean different things at different times, but will always have something to offer us,â says Theatreworks artistic director Caitlin Lowans about âAn Iliad,â which was canceled more than a year ago due to the pandemic. It opens Thursday. Photo by Isaiah Downing
