On Friday, February 5, 2016 Design Council of the Denver Art Museum presents the 12th annual Design After Dark, one of Denver’s most highly anticipated parties for its ever-changing theme and innovative, design-inspired atmosphere. The heart of Design After Dark has been reinvented to give form to its unique 2016 theme: AMASS. Inspired by the concept of gathering and collecting, sixteen Colorado-based artists and designers have been invited to create an imaginative, one-of-a-kind artwork for a one-night-only exhibition and silent auction.
The new lineup for Untitled Final Fridays at the Denver Art Museum shines bright. So bright in fact it inspired a new design for Untitled.
“We developed a logo like a neon sign to illustrate that Untitled is a late-evening event,” said Brie Sexton, graphic designer at the DAM. “I hope the design is as creative and fun as each Untitled.”
Evan Weissman and Chris Getzan brings, Warm Cookies of the Revolution (WCoR), into the DAM to examine voting and civic health from different perspectives.
Inspired by Wyeth: Andrew and Jamie in the Studio, Palettes has crafted a menu worthy of joining the artistic conversation between father and son.
Super Indian: Fritz Scholder, 1967–1980, is already generating buzz in the art world. The exhibition has already been written about in Vogue, The New York Times, The Huffington Post (which also named it one of the top exhibitions for this year), and Westword, and featured on Colorado Public Radio.
Below are some outtakes from media stories about the exhibition and why people can’t stop talking about it:

Note: Floral arrangements inspired by In Bloom: Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism will be featured at the Denver Art Museum in the atrium of the Hamilton Building through October 11. This blog post is about the arrangement created by Birdsall & Co., which will be on display August 13-19.
This arrangement speaks to the simple idea flowing through almost all impressionist paintings of flowers—celebrating the beauty of flowers without harnessing them.
The Denver Art Museum is saying “farewell” to Fox Games, an installation by Sandy Skoglund that has been on view since 2008. The de-installation will be no easy feat—Fox Games has over 700 pieces, each of which must be carefully catalogued and stored. In addition to the 28 foxes, dozens of tables and chairs, and custom vinyl flooring, the installation includes items that must be monitored for preservation: a mink stole, a taxidermy squirrel, and real bread painted by Skoglund to match the ruby red color palette of Fox Games.
