Accomplishments from 2013


Another very successful year in the venues, with large numbers of events at Red Rocks, Buell Theatre and Denver Coliseum Finished 90% of draft for Citys new Cultural Plan since 1989. Broad-based community input is a centerpiece of process. First full year of operations at McNichols Building with more than double the number of events forecast. Activation of building and adjacent areas of Civic Center Park up enormously. Completed selection for new $100m food & beverage contract at Convention Center and Performing Arts Complex, with substantial improvement in financials. Expanded sponsorship arrangement to include other City agencies and finalized contract for new provider. Completed long range plan for Performing Arts Complex, providing strategic roadmap for many future initiatives. Major review underway to review the opportunity to bring ticketing in-house, with decision in 4Q13. Significant cultural program activity, including largest-ever Five Points Jazz Festival, expanded Mayors Awards for Excellence in the Arts, launch of 25 th Anniversary of Public Art, and streamlined Youth One Book One Denver program.
