Aurora Chamber of Commerce


Arts + Business Connection Award

The Chamber’s Arts + Business Connection (ABC) committee (formerly Business for the Arts) is dedicated to demonstrating and promoting the value of integrating the arts as a business tool, by exploring how business and industry can – and does – benefit from the arts. ABC meets the first Tuesday of each month, unless otherwise notified. For more information, contact Mitzi Schindler at 303-344-1500 or Mitzi.Schindler@aurorachamber.org
