In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.
Colorado Creates is Colorado Creative Industries’ largest grant program in order to help cultural organizations produce arts and cultural activities, according to the statement.
“The state is experiencing healthy growth in the creative economy, due in large part to combined state, local and regional efforts to advance support for artists, non-profit arts organizations and creative-place-making efforts,” said Margaret Hunt, director of Colorado Creative Industries.
