Programs
Mainstage and Pop-Up Concerts: Our Mainstage Concerts 75 - 90 minutes and Pop-Up Concerts 5 - 20 minutes in unexpected public spaces reflect our belief that the arts belong everywhere not just on formal stages. These performances span genres formats and venues creating a dynamic and accessible musical landscape across town. In 2024 CMAC presented more than 50 concerts and served 1,846 people. Highlights included a Mariachi residency the acclaimed flute and marimba duo Duo Zuber a genre-tracing Art of the Fiddle Violin weekend and a co-produced semi-staged concert series with Creede Repertory Theatre celebrating the music of the late Stephen Sondheim.Pop-up concerts always free and often delightfully unexpected are a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Audiences have stumbled upon opera in alleyways a harpist playing Radiohead at the farmers market and a brass quintet performing in the plumbing aisle of the local hardware store. These performances remove barriers to access and spark spontaneous moments of joy connection and discovery throughout our small mountain town.

Building on this success we will introduce weekly group voice classes beginning summer 2025 welcoming participants of all ages genres and abilities. We will also continue to offer artist-led sessions tailored to specific disciplines. New additions this season include instrument maintenance classes and sound bath cave yoga expanding our reach and continuing to bridge music with wellness and craft.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $15k → $20k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Creede Musical Arts Collective Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Creede Musical Arts Collective Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
28% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Creede Musical Arts Collective Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
