Denver Arts & Venues Now Accepting Nominations For Mayor's Awards For Excellence In Arts & Culture Denver Arts & Venues is accepting nominations for the Denver Mayor's Awards for Excellence in Arts & Culture, and proposals for IMAGINE 2020 Fund grants now through Aug. 10.

"Denver's cultural landscape is strong and thriving," said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock, "and both the IMAGINE 2020 Fund and the Mayor's Awards for Excellence in Arts & Culture represent the support, endorsement and recognition that Denver has for our artists and cultural organizations."

New this year, each winner of a Mayor's Award for Excellence in Arts & Culture will receive a $1,000 stipend.

The IMAGINE 2020 Fund provides up to $7,500 for programs inspired by one or more of the seven vision elements outlined in IMAGINE 2020 - Denver's Cultural Plan: Integration, Amplification, Accessibility, Lifelong Learning, Local Talent, Economic Vitality and Collective Leadership. Proposals indicating collaboration among multiple groups are strongly encouraged. Eligible applicants can apply for programs that are new or have been in development since the launch of the IMAGINE 2020 Cultural Plan (Spring 2014). Grantees will be announced in September.
