Virtual Symposium

Presenters are chosen from proposals submitted by academics, researchers, and the general public. This year’s theme is Art, Artists, & Entertainers. Artists and their creativity are at the heart of a region’s culture. The Pikes Peak Region, with plentiful natural beauty, serves as a rich well of inspiration. Presenters will explore the artists and entertainers, which have left a rich legacy in the Pikes Peak region.  

Presentations include "The Colorado Springs Civic Players: When Broadway Met Our Town" by Katherine Scott Sturdevant and Rick W. Sturdevant; "Ernestine Parsons: More Than the Artist You Didn't Know You Knew" by Doris McCraw; and "Original Jewelers of Colorado Springs 1895 - 1910: Their Titles and What They Offered" by Lindsey Rieple.
