The Gold Camp Arts Foundation (formerly the Butte Opera House Foundation) is a 501(c)3 public nonprofit corporation to support community  and professional events at the theater.

The Butte Opera House Foundation  was established on Nov. 11, 2000, in an effort to restore the tradition of classic melodrama to the Pikes Peak region and to oversee the renovation and use of the historic Butte Opera House.  In 2009, the foundation changed it’s name to The Gold Camp Arts Foundation, as this name more fully reflects the varied and diverse goals of the foundation.    Our mission is to provide support and resources to establish and promote the arts within our community.

In addition to producing both professional and community theater, the foundation has expanded its community work to include workshops, scholarship opportunities, classroom visits, and many opportunities for local talent to work intimately with professional actors, directors, and technicians from across the country.
