Wheat Ridge Creates is Looking for Creatives

In 2019 the City of Wheat Ridge created a core group of community, business and City staff members to help Artspace (an arts-related nonprofit) produce a feasibility study in order to determine the appetite for "art spaces" in Wheat Ridge. We found that there is a large underground arts community in the City with a lot of great ideas for expanding the art scene. Since that time, this core group has rebranded as Wheat Ridge Creates, and we would like to bring the Creatives that live in and around Wheat Ridge together in a meaningful way.
We are interested in finding out how our Creatives would like to connect with each other. We would also like to identify what the needs of Wheat Ridge Creatives are and begin to address these needs.
