WHO IS THE SCEN3?


The Scientific & Cultural Facilities District funds three tiers of cultural organizations. The third tier (Tier III) of organizations are those with budgets under $1,000,000. Every organization listed in the SCEN3 receives a portion of these funds (13.5% of total SCFD funds), a major reason why Denver's cultural scene is so vibrant!

The SCEN3 was created by several Tier III Art, Dance, Music, Education, Cultural, Theater, Museum, and Science & Environmental organizations in Denver working together to share the best of the metro area's intimate art, science, and cultural activities and attractions.

These engaging performances and programs represent the cultural diversity that Denver neighborhoods boast about. They include American Indian, Asian, Latino and African-American museums, festivals and traditional cultural performances.  They perform at neighborhood venues, exhibit at local galleries, create vibrant and relevant dance and theater performances, and host festivals that you've come to love. In short, they are the network that connects the arts, science, and culture to your daily life.

SCFD


Denver loves the arts, science, and culture! Denver residents enjoy culture so much so that we give a penny tax on every $10 we spend to support the arts, science, and cultural scene! In 1988 Metro Denver's cultural tax, the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), was approved by area voters. As these pennies add up, they help fund approximately 300 nonprofit cultural organi- zations delivering new and exciting programs, performances, displays, classes, exhibits, and tours to the public.
The Scene - Art. Science. Culture.
