No. Peak Cultural Arts Organization and Peak Dance are separate organizations. PCAO may collaborate with Peak Dance and use its facilities for certain programs or events, just as PCAO intends to collaborate with other artists, organizations, schools, and creative spaces throughout the corridor. PCAO maintains its own nonprofit governance and mission.

No. Dance is an important part of PCAO's history and remains one of the many cultural art forms we celebrate. PCAO's broader vision includes visual and performing arts, movement, music, food, storytelling, film, design, textile arts, cultural traditions, history, and other forms of creative expression.

Not exactly. PCAO is being built as a cultural connector and community resource. Sometimes we will produce programs ourselves. Sometimes we will partner with other organizations. Sometimes we'll help artists and organizations reach new audiences or find one another. Our long-term vision may also include dedicated cultural space, but our goal isn't to duplicate the good work already happening. It's to help more of it happen.

PCAO is rooted in Conifer and works to strengthen arts and cultural opportunities throughout the surrounding mountain corridor, including connections among Conifer, Bailey, Pine, Evergreen, and neighboring communities.

There are many ways to help build PCAO at this early stage — attend an event, volunteer, share your creative work with us, become a community partner, sponsor a program, or make a gift. And if you're an artist, educator, maker, performer, cultural organization, or someone with an idea for our mountain community, we'd especially like to hear from you.
