While Colorado Harvest is helping bring music to Denverites, they won't be enjoying marijuana in the venue. I always knew we were going to help do something like, but I wasn't sure what it'd be." "Community involvement has always been something that is part of who I am. "We saw this as an opportunity to connect with the community in something more long-term than a highway sign," Cullen says.
His involvement in the Levitt project was a large reason why both Heidl and Cullen joined, the men say.
Zacher is the executive director of Levitt Pavilion Denver, known for his work managing City Park Jazz on summer Sundays and taking the program to new heights. " We are thrilled to be the presenting sponsor of Levitt Denver – it has long been a dream to participate in a project of this scale at such a high level." After meeting with Chris Zacher and his amazing team, we were immediately sold on the idea and knew we needed to be involved," Heidl said in a statement. "From the moment we heard plans for The Levitt Foundation's new project in Denver, we were instantly drawn to something that brings culture and talent to the Denver community. Levitt Pavilions, which are located throughout the country, are owned by the cities that house them, but each Levitt Pavilion remains a nonprofit venue – and that allows cannabis companies to announce themselves, Cullen explains.Ĭullen, a member of the Levitt Pavilion Denver board of directors, isn't the only representative of the cannabis industry Jeremy Heidl, chief operating officer of O.penVape, is also on the board, and O.PenVape is a presenting sponsor for the Levitt. Most outdoor cannabis advertising of any type is prohibited in Denver. (A handful of Colorado dispensaries have joined the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway program, which gives them secure signage in high-traffic areas in exchange for paying for workers to clean up stretches of road.) The State of Colorado allows dispensaries and other cannabis businesses to advertise with publications, radio stations and television stations only if reliable evidence shows that over 30 percent of the audience is over 21 marijuana billboards are largely banned. We're uniquely situated, in that we can advertise with a nonprofit and not much else." Second, they're uniquely situated as a nonprofit. "First, it was a great idea that can change the music scene and its public availability for generations to come. "That wasn't anticipated," Cullen says, although he definitely anticipated getting a great venture off the ground. Tim Cullen, CEO of the Colorado Harvest Company dispensary chain, is especially excited to attend the first show - partly because it's one he helped create.Ĭolorado Harvest Company contributed $100,000 to the Levitt Pavilion's capital campaign, making it the venue's biggest benefactor.
