In the winters of 2018, 2019 and 2020, Peak Arts Prize funded inspiring arts projects in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado that amplified the arts to new audiences. Its unique program design expanded access to the Pikes Peak Fund for the Arts to local arts nonprofits, creative businesses, and individual artists, pulling the most diverse applicant pool in the Fund’s history. The program energized public interest in local arts & culture through its engaging video applications, People’s Choice voting process, and vibrant finalists and winners. 

Peak Arts Prize was a program of the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region, powered by Pikes Peak Fund for the Arts, a fund of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation (PPCF).

Peak Arts Prize is not ANTICIPATED TO RETURN AT THIS TIME. 

Given the evolving needs of the local arts community, the Cultural Office and PPCF are redesigning the approach to the Pikes Peak Fund for the Arts. The fund will continue to support local arts in the spirit of its benefactor, Edith Ellyas.
