What is the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO)?
The Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO) is a 501(c)(3) citizen board, created in 1991, to advise and advocate for artistic, cultural, historical and scientific activities in the City of Thornton. Thornton City Council appoints the 12-member board of directors who serve unlimited four-year terms and represent each ward. Arts and Culture staff provide year-round administrative support to TASHCO serving as liaisons to City Council, city management, and city services to support event, fundraising, and public art initiatives.
The vision of TASHCO is to capture the hearts and minds of all Thornton Citizens and enhance the quality of their lives through exposure and involvement in the arts, sciences and humanities.
Each year, TASHCO facilitates cultural programming with staff support in Thornton and Adams County in conjunction with grant funding from the Scientific Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). TASHCO also accepts donations year-round through Colorado Gives to support its community activities.
TASHCO meets on the second Monday of every month, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., at the Thornton Arts & Culture Center at 9209 Dorothy Blvd. These meeting are open to the public. For more information, visit goCOT.net/TASHCO.
