The Spark

Welcome to The Spark, where creativity ignites and communities thrive! 

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to inspire, educate, and empower artists and the community. We believe in the transformative power of the arts, and we're on a mission to fuel that spark within every creator.

Through innovative productions, comprehensive training, and a warm and supportive framework, The Spark is a haven for all those who dare to dream and create. We envision a world where art not only enriches lives but also bridges communities.

The Spark is proud to be home of more than 30 arts organizations and artists and this year we would like to focus our fundraising this year on improving our infrastructure to better support these and future Spark renters. 

With your support on Colorado Gives Day, we aim to enhance our organizational capacity and infrastructure, ensuring that our incubator members receive the same level of engagement as our in-house Spark programs. By expanding our support system, we believe we can catalyze a positive ripple effect, benefiting not only our incubator members but the entire Spark community.

We aim to enhance our space and upgrade our technology to provide more resources to our community as well as showcase artists, host musicians and support emerging theatrical and arts groups. Your generosity ensures everyone benefits from these improvements.
