Advancing Health Equity Through the Performing Arts

What We Do…

Dandelion Arts Collective is an arts-in-health organization dedicated to increasing health equity and public health promotion through performing arts education. We believe that the performing arts can be used to advance health equity and social justice. We are a woman-owned, non-profit organization that uses theatre, movement, music, and many other performing arts modalities to support health and well-being. We are impassioned to foster the structural and sociocultural changes to increase health, create platforms for self-expression, and provide safe spaces for communities to explore the human experience. Join us in our vision to create a better tomorrow, today.

Who We Serve…

We are a mobile program serving Northern Colorado families, children, young people, and adults in schools, community centers, libraries, art spaces, public health events, and more. 

Why Dandelion?

Throughout history and in many cultures, dandelions have long been a symbol of hope, resilience, nourishment, growth, and healing. Through music, movement, creative expression, storytelling, visual art, and more, Dandelion Arts Collective aims to bring those same elements to communities across the North Denver Metro area.
