Colorado Culture is more than the Wild West
While Colorado may be located in what was the "Wild West," it offers much more these days. Something for everyone.

The Denver metropolitan area offers a wide variety of cultural and other activities.
Culture in Denver is actually BIG business these days -- close to $2 billion according to a 2008 study. And Denver is not a "cowtown" anymore. Much has changed in Denver metro's arts scene in the past 10 or so years. It now offers many diverse theater, dance, choral and music companies, and a variety of unique neighborhood art districts and the preservation of local history. In 2004, voters reauthorized the Scientic Cultural & Facilities District making some $40 million available in grants to over 300 organizations. Denver has also seen the renovation of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the opening of Wildlife Experience, the Denver Art Museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton building, the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum, Shadow Theatre Company and the Museum of Contemporary Art -- Denver, just to name a few examples.

One of Denver's newst cultural activities is CultureHaus, the educational extension of the Denver Art Museum. It is a result of Denver Art Museum director Christoph Heinrich's efforts since arriving from Hamburg, Germany in 2009. CultureHaus connects the young at heart with art. CultureHaus provides its members with a wide range of opportunities to learn about art and collecting. At exclusive events held nearly every month, members and guests can enjoy unique insights about art, private exhibition viewings, and the chance to meet other art enthusiasts and make new friends.
