Certified Creative District
Downtown Colorado Springs is designated as a Creative District by Colorado Creative Industries, a division of the state Office of Economic Development & International Trade. This designation is earned through a rigorous and competitive process that measures the abundance of arts nonprofits and creative industries in a district as well as the intentional leveraging of culture and creativity in urban planning and community development initiatives. Downtown Ventures administers the creative district programming and reporting.
