Community + Resistance = Joy.
For 45 years, the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus and Denver Feminist Chorus have shown what happens when people come together and raise their voices in song.
Founded in 1982 and 1984 as an outlet for creative expression in a safe, supportive, and affirming environment, the choruses form the Rocky Mountain Arts Association (RMArts), the state's oldest and largest LGBTQIA+ performing arts group. In these four-plus decades, we have stayed committed to the lives, dignity, and well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and our communities.
We entertain, inspire, educate, empower, cry, laugh and stay committed to building community through music.
Too often, fear, hatred, and division seem louder than hope. But every week, the singers of the Denver Feminist Chorus and Denver Gay Men’s Chorus are witnesses to the power of community, the infectious energy of resistance, and the joy that comes from authenticity, safety, and togetherness.
That’s why we keep singing.
This year, as the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus marks its 45th anniversary, we have set a big goal: raise $45,000 by December 31 to help the Denver Choruses continue for another 45 years.
Your support during the 2026 Giving season helps us continue amplifying our voice and music to entertain, educate, inspire, and empower.
Mission: Rocky Mountain Arts Association exists to build community through music.
Purpose: The Denver Gay Men's Chorus and the Denver Feminist Chorus under the umbrella of the Rocky Mountain Arts Association are dedicated to musical excellence and social justice. We value entertaining, educating, inspiring, and empowering our audiences to create and nurture safe, supportive, and inclusive communities for our singers and for all citizens. We provide a safe environment and community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, and asexual and/or allies to express their artistry. Our performances contribute to the diversity and vibrancy of the arts community in Colorado, and educational, cultural, and social enrichment for our audiences.
