Creative Alliance Manitou Springs

We elevate and promote Manitou Springs creatives to lift artistic and economic vitality. As a State-certified Creative District, we support performing and visual arts to design, entrepreneurial research, and culinary arts. #CreativeManitou #ManitouMade Creative industries—from performing and visual arts to design, entrepreneurial research, and culinary arts—are an agile industry cluster that was an engine of growth following the last recession and is a proven asset for rural as well as urban economic development. In partnership with these industries and other key community stakeholders, CRANE enhances the economic vitality of the community by inspiring artists, creatives, and visitors, while preserving our unique cultural, historic, and natural setting.
