Think 360 Arts

Today on March 2nd, the Colorado Senate passed a bipartisan resolution, co-sponsored by Senator Marc Snyder (D-12) and Senator Mark Baisley (R-4), to officially designate March as Arts Education Month in Colorado.⁠
⁠
This initiative, led by Colorado Business Committee for the Arts () and Think 360 Arts for Learning (), elevates the importance of recognizing arts education as a core subject in Colorado schools.⁠
⁠
The resolution affirms the essential role of dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts in providing a well-rounded education, while also acknowledging the need for stronger statewide data collection and instructional access.⁠
⁠
A public toolkit is now available on CBCA’s website to help you celebrate all month long! Resources include:⁠
⁠
✔ Activation ideas for classrooms, schools, districts and community organizations⁠
✔ Ready-to-use social media graphics and messaging⁠
✔ An easy form to submit your current or ongoing activity to highlight this month⁠
✔ Advocacy tools, research and policy recommendations⁠
⁠
Join us in recognizing, elevating, and strengthening arts education statewide! ⁠

We’re thrilled to partner with Pikes Peak Library ()
to bring our Creative Aging programs to their community! 🎨✨

Join us on December 17th, 12–1 PM at the Calhan Library Branch for a hand puppet workshop led by teaching artist Patti Smithsonian.

Get creative as you craft your very own hand puppet! Using a premade base, you’ll add hand-sewn decorations to design a unique face, eyes, hair, and a simple costume. Once your puppet is complete, learn how to bring it to life in storytelling and share your creation with others. All materials are provided.

This program is free, but registration is required—link in bio to reserve your spot! https://ppld.librarymarket.com/event/story-creations-tbd-526292

A big thank you to for helping make this Creative Aging program at Pikes Peak Library possible! 💛
