Remaining members of the Central Colorado Performing Arts Center recently met to close the bank account of the nonprofit and distribute its remaining funds to area performing arts organizations.
CCPAC members presented checks to the Buena Vista High School Choir and Theater, Avery-Parsons Elementary School, the Buena Vista Middle School Band, the Collegiate Peaks Chorale, the Walden Chamber Music Society, Alpine Orchestra and Buena Vista Event Cooperative âin the hopes those organizations may continue to flourish and be enjoyed by the public,â said board member Kathi Perry.
âWe started a 501c3 called Central Colorado Performing Arts Center (CCPAC) and leased land from the town where the dog park is located today,â Perry said. âFor several years CCPAC hosted the Collegiate Peaks Music Festival. We sponsored Opera Colorado for the schools and brought in Think 360 Arts Tako drums so our young students could experience the fine arts. CCPAC was the umbrella organization for Buena Vista Event Cooperative and sponsored other events for the townâs enjoyment. Although we had a sizeable bank account from our fundraising events, the economics were not in our favor to reach our goal.â
