Biggest Arts and Culture Stories of 2020 in Colorado

The pandemic hit Denver’s arts and culture scene hard, forcing many businesses, performance spaces, museums and galleries to close, at least temporarily, at the end of March. In the months since, artists and curators have rallied to keep culture alive, to comment on social injustice, and to inspire us all to appreciate essential workers and health-care providers. Along the way, the scene has shown its grit and ability to stay relevant through the toughest of times, though some longstanding cultural institutions have been wrangling with their own inner demons. Here are the ten biggest arts and culture stories in Denver in 2020:

Colorado Venues Celebrate Congress Passing Save Our Stages Act

Congress approved a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package on December 21 that will send $600 stimulus checks to most Americans and offer $325 billion in relief to small businesses and that includes $15 billion from the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act for live-music venues, cultural institutions and movie theaters. The bill awaits the president s signature. Colorado’s hardworking people and small businesses need relief, and we are glad Congress is finally considering at least some help, Governor Jared Polis said in a statement, as the deal was nearing completion December 20. Additional federal direct cash payments of $600 per person and extended unemployment benefits for over 16,000 Coloradans impacted by this pandemic are a welcomed resource. Ultimately, this package is an important down payment from the federal government for what is needed to help get the nation successfully through the health crisis from the deadly virus and the global recession.”
