Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) recently announced that Jane Chu, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), will deliver the keynote event at the organization’s annual Business for the Arts Awards luncheon. The event, which will be held on March 9 at the Denver Performing Arts Center, will feature musical, dance, and theatrical performances in addition to the announcements of the awardees.

The Business for the Arts Awards honor individuals and businesses in five different categories, including a future leader award and those that acknowledge businesses for their contribution to the arts or the economy of Colorado.

The Impact Award highlights the innovative use of the arts to propel business success, programs that engage employees with creativity, and community activities to foster arts and business partnerships. Brookfield, a 2014 BCA 10 honoree, is one of three nominees for the award.
