The city has received many applications from community members who would like to perform as part of the “Community Spotlight Performances.” City staff are reviewing over a dozen applications and will publicize as details are available. We look forward to creating entertaining evenings throughout the summer featuring a variety of cultural styles.

Six Community Spotlight Performances have been scheduled for June, including a trombone choir and the “Mad Dog Blues Duo,” with more planned for July and August.

The Community Spotlight Performances will be free to the community. For those interested, Community Spotlight Performance applications are still being accepted at boulderartsinthepark.com.

Colorado-based artist Jerod Barker has returned to design the artwork for this year’s Arts in the Park poster, which features the performance venue, the bandshell.
