In August 2014, Colorado Ballet moved into its current home in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe near Downtown Denver. Colorado Ballet presents a varied season of classical and contemporary ballets in Denver each year. Its mission is to present classical ballet and innovative dance through performances, training, and education programs that are part of the cultural life of the community. Colorado Ballet serves 35,000 people each year in 300 schools and organizations. In 2009, Colorado Ballet received the Colorado Masterpieces program to tour Colorado's Front Range, funded by the Colorado Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts through the American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius initiative. In 2016, Colorado Ballet's production of The Nutcracker was named the best-loved Nutcracker in the 10th Annual Goldstar National Nutcracker Award contest, in a field of more than 80 productions across the United States. Ticket sales cover about 55 percent of Colorado Ballet's annual budget, and as a non-profit organization, it depends on donor support.
