Arts & Culture

Engage with arts and cultural experiences for everyone and find new opportunities to get involved with the community.

Our Dedication to Arts & Culture

We understand that the arts create stronger communities, better business environments, and higher qualities of life, which is why we’re dedicated to the growth and evolution of the arts in our communities.

Through the Percentage for the Arts program, Adams County stands as a national leader in county-level arts visioning and support. The program dedicates 2% of construction costs for all eligible capital projects to bring arts and culture to our residents. And in partnership with the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, we’re working to uplift the artistic businesses in the regional area to encourage their longevity in our communities.
