May 5, 2016 Greetings: On behalf of the State of Colorado, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 5th annual Colorado Creative Industries Summit here in Carbondale. As embodied by this year’s theme, the State of Colorado is embracing a culture of possibility. We are recognized as a leader in building sustainable communities and economies by cultivating creative talent, leveraging local resources, and fostering a sense of place through the arts and innovation. It is our independent spirit at the heart of these movements and what continues to drive us forward, paving the way for others to follow. Colorado’s creative industries have a significant impact on the strength of our economy and continue to play an integral role in our overall vitality. Whether it is a community on the Front Range or in a small rural or mountain town, the creative sector touches all four corners of our state, contributing to the inner workings of what makes us unique. During your time in Carbondale, we hope you will take a moment to celebrate the exceptional variety, skill, and determination inherent within the Colorado creative community. As Coloradans, we all have the good fortune of benefitting from the diverse projects and goods generated by our creative industries. Thank you to everyone who is participating in this year’s summit.
