Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that serves to advance Colorado's creative economy by connecting business and the arts. We achieve this through advocacy, research, leadership training, volunteerism and arts engagement efforts. CBCA is a member organization of leading companies and individuals that have a philanthropic commitment to the arts and recognize the link between cultural vitality and creative and innovative success. Hundreds of metro area businesses, representing thousands of employees, are members of CBCA. Established in 1985 by local business leaders, CBCA is now an affiliate of Americans for the Arts and formerly of the National Business Committee for the Arts founded by David Rockerfeller in 1967. CBCA is a proud recipient of the Denver 2010 Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts.
