Levitt Pavilion, a nonprofit amphitheater in Southwest Denver, has been dedicated to increasing access to the arts, and building community through music, by producing 50 free concerts annually, since opening in 2017.
However, this year (2020), the Coronavirus pandemic has forced the organization to cancel/postpone all May-July concerts. Like many other presenting agencies and nonprofits, Levitt is waiting for guidance from Federal, State and City Government to inform us when we can continue to safely produce events.
Due to the overwhelming size of the pavilion’s bowl, and the fact that it is an outdoor venue, Levitt is hopeful that no matter what attendance restrictions look like, there will be ways to utilize the space while still practicing “social distancing.”
Levitt generally books “contemporary” touring bands and most of these artists have cancelled tours, making the booking process complicated. While the organization continues to find ways to “pivot,” the beautiful, state-of-the-art, venue sits empty, waiting to be utilized.
Due to the pavilion’s unique advantages, we are reaching out to all SCFD organizations to offer our facilities as a potential space to use for any manner of events or performances that may be difficult to produce in smaller, indoor spaces . In addition being an outdoor venue with vast size, Levitt also holds several unused permits that can be given to existing SCFD organizations free of charge.
While some production costs will still exist, Levitt is willing to offer these free permits, in addition to staff time, to partner with minded organizations to produce and conceptualize events of all kinds.
If you are interested in using Levitt for your organization please contact andy@levittdenver.org to tell us about your event.
We hope everyone is staying safe and that we hear from you soon.
