The Colorado Press Association annual convention concluded this weekend with lots of energy, new ideas, and recognition for newsrooms across the state.
For our penultimate installment in our monthly “Heroes” series, we look to our nonprofits. Our nonprofits are the ones that stare down the darkness without flinching. They understand the pain, the fear, the anger that arises from such heavy topics. Yet, they fight on because they know that someone has to, that nothing will change without direct action.
As we continue our Heroes series, we turn this month to our stages. We spoke to 9 representatives from vastly different kinds of venues. Some are solely for music, some for theater and opera, some for comedy, some a mix of it all. While the purposes of these spaces might be quite disparate, each person we spoke with truly believes in the importance of music and performance in their communities.
For the next entry in our ongoing Heroes series, we spoke with 10 local artists who work in a variety of mediums. These are lovers, renegades, activists, people who use their craft to better the world. Each is a storyteller that has figured out their own way to reach up into the cosmos and grab a piece of the universe, bring it in close and whisper to it messages of resilience and compassion and then let it go free to spread throughout our world. Let’s hear it for them.
