| The Colorado College Summer Festival of the Arts is proud to partner with many local performing arts organizations. Below you'll find a list of organizations that return to the festival this year. Please visit their websites, attend their events and support them throughout the year! | |
| Amateur Pianists International www.apiano.org |
|
The idea for a larger "Celebration" as distinguished from a "Competition" arose out of the first rocky Mountain Amateur Piano Competition (RMAPC) in Colorado Springs in May 2000. Featuring three rounds of competition juried by a distinguished panel of judges, the event was the brainchild of pianist Gregory Adams and his friend and piano enthusiast, Charles Cabell. |

Windrider Film Forum www.windridercolorado.com/ |
|
 Thursday, July 23 Friday, July 24 Saturday, July 25 |
The Windrider Film Forum debuted in January 2005 in Park City, UT, at the Sundance Film Festival. Windrider is an immersive educational experiment and an ongoing conversation between filmmakers and film lovers. We gather at the nexus of faith, art and culture diving into all three with a sense of expectation and wonder. We have structured the experience to participate in Sundance on Sundance’s own terms. Our “classroom” is the Sundance Film Festival; the content of our “course” are the films we see; our “professors” are the filmmakers who participate in a conversation with us.
