Courses
Mexican Modernism in Context, a four-session online course, invites you to dig deeper into the themes and artists represented in our fall and winter exhibition, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection.
With local experts as your guides, Mexican Modernism in Context invites you to look more closely at the works on display, discover the rich historical contexts that informed their production, and explore the exhibition armed with newfound knowledge and critical perspectives.

Untitled: Creative Fusions at Home

Plaza Installations
This summer, DAM visitors can experience an interactive work of art inside or outside the museum walls!
While the Studio is closed, we are still engaging with local artists through the projects created for the plaza windows. Our latest collaboration with Andrew Huffman, Domino Projection, brings art to passersby and visitors alike. This is a site-specific, ephemeral installation that responds to the existing architecture and contemporary times to produce a unique, optimistic and interactive artwork. Stop by the Martin Plaza to experience Domino Projection and become a part of the art!
Stay tuned for the next iteration of this project, coming October 2020.
Mindful Looking
Mindful Looking invites you to slow down and spend time with a single work of art from the Denver Art Museum. Discover overlooked details, pose questions, and explore ideas as we linger, look, and connect from home with art and with each other. This is a free program which occurs online every third Tuesday of each month.
