Intersections of Arts, Music, Culture + Commerce: A Panel Discussion

Join the Colorado Springs Hispanic Chamber Foundation and the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPR) for an engaging evening exploring how arts, music, and culture strengthen communities, inspire creativity, and enrich the quality of life throughout the Pikes Peak Region.

This interactive forum brings together business leaders, artists, musicians, philanthropists, and community organizations to discuss the importance of investing in the arts, celebrating Hispanic cultural heritage, and building meaningful partnerships that create a more vibrant Colorado Springs.

Moderated by Phil Martinez, President of PM Productions, the panel will feature:

• TerryJosiah Sharpe, CEO, Anthem Music Services
• Bernard Sandoval, President, Sandoval Fine Art
• Chloe Polhamus, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives & Philanthropy, VENU

Together, the panelists bring perspectives spanning regional cultural infrastructure, visual art and civic identity, private investment in arts and entertainment, music and creative entrepreneurship, and the business of the creative industries.

The program will include a moderated panel discussion, audience questions, and a lightning round asking each panelist to identify one action everyone in the room can take during the next year to strengthen arts, music, and culture in Colorado Springs.

Guests are invited to stay following the discussion for a networking reception, refreshments, and an opportunity to connect with panelists, artists, sponsors, business leaders, and community partners.
