Why Denver is a Great Place to Study Art
The metropolitan Denver area is considered a premier cultural destination, and in 2003, more than $1.3 billion was pumped into the economy because of its thriving arts and culture environment. More than 11 million people attended visual and performing art events that year. The Denver area boasts over 300 cultural and scientific organizations that employ well over 9,000 employees. The arts, no doubt, are supremely important to the Mile High City.
