“Manitou Springs has a rich history, and our culture includes indigenous peoples of the past, present, and future. The environmental sensitivity of the first humans to frequent here is a legacy for all of us. Let’s keep that appreciation of nature and our past when we look back at the diverse cultures that made our community what it is today.” John Graham, Mayor of Manitou Springs stated. He continued “This is a year to celebrate who we are.”
"Wherever people are, they bring their own creativity and art. In celebrating 150 years of city life, we recognize the density and diversity of perspectives and skills in our community. What an incredible chance to ask ourselves how best to tap into those talents to create the next 150 years of Manitou Springs together." said Becca Sickbert, Executive Director of CReative AlliaNce Manitou Springs.
