The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. founded the Imagination Celebration as a series of community-wide arts festivals throughout the U.S. In 1986, Colorado Springs became one of these national sites. In 1989, Founding Director Mary Mashburn (widely known as the “Fairy Godmother of the Arts” in Colorado Springs) and the Pikes Peak Library District quickly developed it from a short-term festival to a robust medley of award-winning programs in the performing and visual arts. By January 2000, the Imagination Celebration became an independent year-round nonprofit arts organization dedicated to fostering creativity and connecting people through the educational, social, and transformative power of the arts.
