Our Work – Events & Convenings

Board Meetings

Three times a year, Creative West gathers its board of trustees in person at locations across the scenic Western expanse to share organizational thoughts, ideas, and visions.. Each year when October arrives, we convene for our Annual Board Meeting in Denver where Creative West staff and trustees enjoy each the zest of community. . A unique element of these events are our Community Dinners, which brings together friends, colleagues, and local artists to celebrate arts and culture in the destinations where we meet, enriching the experience for both staff and trustees.
