Venue 515

515 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, CO, 80829

(719) 685-1861 - Venue Website

No more need to guess at the name of the new performance/community building at the BAC. Many names were suggested and much discussion took place. In the end, they chose the name Venue 515 (originally suggested by artist and teacher Chip Shaw). The Board feels this name reflects the performance nature of the building. Soon the name will be on the front doors and appear on documents related to the building.

Megan LeFurge: A product of many artistic disciplines, Megan is a self-proclaimed "wordsmith who likes to sing." She's always loved music and secretly wished to perform her own music, but for many years from grade school until high school she was content with performing within a group setting with her church and schools choirs and symphonic bands (where she played flute). It wasn't until her early college years where she found the confidence to embrace the singular and vulnerable spotlight and she, literally, found her voice through jazz music. Although she's just now sinking her teeth into aggressive and professional music making, she's already won awards for excellence in music, including an award by Dr. Glen Whitehead, director of music at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, for Excellence in Music for the graduating class of 2010. The Visual and Performing Arts department at UCCS later awarded her the Excellence in VAPA award. With a curiosity cultivated by the world's folk music and a voice developed by jazz stylings and techniques, Megan composes melodic poems to aid her in solving life's mysteries. Her songs have an alt-folk simplicity to them, and her voice is incredibly strong, yet poised and graceful. Mama Tina’s Catering: Mama Tina's Catering is owned and operated by Tina Peters. Tina originally opened Mama Tina's Cafe and Catering in 1992 in Manitou Springs at the Barker House.
