It’s officially Arts Month in Colorado Springs, and there’s no better time to dive headfirst into our city’s creative scene! In this episode of Springs and Things, Carly and Lauren sit down with Jonathan Toman from the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPR) to talk about 12 years of celebrating local arts, this year’s “Open Your World with the Arts” theme, and the brand-new Arts Month Passport that turns exploring the arts into a citywide adventure.

From opera at the Air Force Academy to immersive dance in cemeteries (yes, really), they cover how art shows up in unexpected places, why you don’t have to be “artsy” to enjoy it, and how creativity connects us all. Grab a drink, open your world, and join us for a fun, inspiring conversation that’ll make you want to fill your October with color, music, and meaning.
