At the celebration which is virtual this year the CBCA will honor an impressive mix of winners, many of whom have been instrumental in helping the arts community make it through the pandemic, including RedLine Contemporary Art Center and Levitt Pavilion Denver, both nonprofits that advocated hard for arts, culture and venue funding and helped get money into the hands of struggling organizations.
Also in the mix are smaller companies like Jack s Solar Garden, which runs an Artist on the Farm program, and Pizzeria Locale, which has partnered with Access Gallery and Art From Ashes to display artworks and poetry on pizza boxes. The CBCA will also celebrate giants like Charles Schwab, which has been creating opportunities for artists at its corporate campus.

Denver Arts and Venues has asked the Colorado health department to allow up to 2,500 people to attend concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this spring, with the possibility of larger crowds over the summer.
The request comes as the state reportedly is considering relaxing its COVID-19 rules for all event venues.
If the request is approved, concerts and other events at Red Rocks could operate at about one-quarter of their normal capacity, said Brian Kitts, director of communications for the Denver-owned venue. Parties would have to sit six feet apart and wear masks, and Red Rocks plans to change how people enter and exit so there’s less milling around, he said.
In 2019, Denver s live jazz scene was thriving. A year later, it s on the brink of extinction.
That became most obvious in early December, when legendary bar El Chapultepec closed after nearly nine decades. It was the third jazz venue to shut down since COVID-19 arrived. Clubs like Dazzle and Nocturne are doing what they can to stay afloat, and less traditional spots like the Mercury Cafe and Muse Performance Space in Lafayette are relying on goodwill to weather the pandemic.
Before COVID-19, Denver boasted a long jazz tradition, stretching back to the 1920s, when Five Points was known as the Harlem of the West and jazz greats frequented town. El Chaputepec, which opened the day after Prohibition ended and originally offered mariachi music, eventually became a bar where young jazz musicians honed their chops and royalty like Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Tony Bennett, Eddie Harris and many more came to play.
