Test Your Colorado Trivia Skills at Untitled #54 (Turf)

So, you’ve climbed every fourteener and slept in 32 of the 34 10th Mountain Division backcountry huts. You have a state parks pass on your windshield and gaiters at the ready in your trunk. In other words, you feel pretty darn confident about your ability to recognize some of our state’s most notable peaks. Well, during Untitled #54 (Turf), we have the game for you.

During this month’s final Friday late night program, we will be sending visitors on a hunt to find a series of Charles Partridge Adams paintings. Adams was a Colorado landscape painter who created more than 1,000 paintings during the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Denver Art Museum’s current exhibition Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles Partridge Adams is the first occasion when his paintings have been displayed together in a major art museum, and consists of 33 of his most fascinating paintings.

This is your chance to show off what you know about your home turf—and win a prize in the process. To get in on the action, follow @untitledDAM or @denverartmuseum on Twitter. Then on Feb. 22, during this month’s Untitled program, @untitledDAM and @denverartmuseum will tweet two clues to help you find the correct artwork. Once you’ve found the painting with right peak, snap a pic of yourself in front of the work, making sure to tag @untitledDAM or @denverartmuseum when you tweet your photo. First one to post their pic wins!

There's a whole lot more happening at Untitled #54 (Turf). Watch visitors battle it out in a massive dance-off to be part of a Nick Cave performance ahead of his exhibition here this summer, take a detour with two landscape architects, hear two tales of the West from DAM curators in the new exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam, and the Land. Kick back and listen to a soundscape created by Pillow Garden, see what kind of turf war erupts between Buntport Theater's Joan and Charlie and play putt-putt in Andrew Novick's art-inspired mini-golf hole.
