[3] In September 2010, partly inspired by Dream City Vision 2020, COPPeR released a 10-year cultural plan in for the Pikes Peak region.
It now serves as a guide to arts and cultural events throughout the Colorado Springs area, including Teller and El Paso counties.
AFTA plans to compile all this data to make comparisons across cities and determine how arts programs and budgets can be improved.
In addition to partnering with AFTA, COPPeR also works with various programs in the city of Colorado Springs, including the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Pikes Peak Poet Laureate Project, and the Quality of Life Indicators Project, conducted through the United Way of America.
COPPeR and PeakRadar events are regularly featured in local newspapers The Gazette and the Colorado Springs Business Journal.
