In July 2020, CBCA hosted their graduation and the annual Board Fair over Zoom. Cultural nonprofit organizations were placed in virtual breakout rooms and Leadership Arts graduates were rotated through the rooms to meet the nonprofits and discuss volunteer opportunities. CBCA modified the program for the 2020-2021 cohort to include 16 virtual classes, instead of nine half-day sessions, all to be hosted over Zoom. This adjustment expanded the curriculum and enabled inclusion of statewide and national speakers. The virtual format also made the program accessible to participants outside the Denver metro area.

Advancing Creatives offers professional development and business skills trainings to artists, performers, creative entrepreneurs, and artistic entities. Originally, CBCA had planned to launch this program with a limited series of 6-8 workshops. However, with the severe impact of the pandemic on the creative sector, it was necessary to quickly expand these offerings. CBCA has hosted or helped coordinate 20 of these webinars in 2020. Many of these webinars featured CBCA Member companies and were co-presented with arts partners, such as Art Students League of Denver, RedLine Contemporary Arts Center, RiNo Arts District, AIGA Colorado and Colorado Independent Venue Association. Most of these webinars were recorded and shared afterward to further expand their reach. 68062 Membership ServicesNight At distributes complimentary tickets to cultural events to CBCA Member companies and their employees, which is a primary benefit for membership.

CBCA has been publishing data on the economic impact and activity generated from the nonprofit arts sector since 1992. CBCA was planning to release its next Economic Activity Study in November 2020, which would examine data from the 2019 calendar year. By the spring of 2020, it became clear that that data would not be as relevant given the economic hardship now faced by cultural organizations as a result of the pandemic. CBCA decided to postpone the release of the next Study until fall 2021 and publish a report that would share and compare data from 2019 and 2020.
