The mission of the Pikes Peak Young Composers, Inc., is to encourage young people, K-12, to compose music. PPYCCI will provide education, professional evaluation, performance and other relevant opportunities for the advancement and preservation of musical composition. |
Shivers Concert Series www.shiversfund.com |
|
 |
Clarence and Peggy Shivers inaugurated the Shivers African-American Historical and Cultural Collection in 1993 with a substantial gift. A major fundraiser – the Shedding Light Celebration – is held over the Thanksgiving holiday biennially. These Celebrations have been extremely successful and are the major source of funding to fulfill the educational enrichment mission.
The objectives of the Shivers Fund are to provide scholarships to young people interested in the study of classical performing and visual arts; present classical concerts showcasing grant recipients and professional African-Americans talents; expand contributions to Pikes Peak Library District through materials, workshops, and other educational presentations; provide opportunities for the community to come together in celebration of History, Culture, and the Arts. |
Windrider Film Forum www.windridercolorado.com/ |
|
 |
The Windrider Film Forum debuted in January 2005 in Park City, UT, at the Sundance Film Festival. Windrider is an immersive educational experiment and an ongoing conversation between filmmakers and film lovers. We gather at the nexus of faith, art and culture diving into all three with a sense of expectation and wonder. We have structured the experience to participate in Sundance on Sundance’s own terms. Our “classroom” is the Sundance Film Festival; the content of our “course” are the films we see; our “professors” are the filmmakers who participate in a conversation with us.
