Contact the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park, 970-586-9203 to discuss the many sponsorship opportunities that are available.  All sponsorships will help support the mission of the Cultural Arts Council to support all forms of art in the greater Estes Valley.

Program support has come from many generous sources over the years, including, but not limited to:  The Post-News Community Foundation, Xcel Energy Foundation, Town of Estes Park, Northern Colorado Community Foundation - First National Bank Fund, many private contributions, memberships, event admissions and commissions on art sales.

Our volunteers count in many ways.  Volunteer hours are tracked and calculated each year and are a valuable asset as "in-kind" contributions when approaching foundations for grants.

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people from around Estes Park and the world, and gain new skills at the same time.  It is fun, exciting and provides you with memorable experiences in the arts.

And most important, volunteers make much of what the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Parks happen.  All the free and low cost programs put on each year would not happen without all our wonderful volunteers!

We need volunteer skills of all types, from hands-on help (like setting up and taking down art shows, and doing art demonstrations) to Professional help (like grant writing, marketing, and general office work). 

Please send us e-mail, call our office (970-586-9203) or just stop by the Arts Council office in Estes Park at 304 E. Elkhorn Avenue if you want to help.
