Community Programs
The Art Lives Here program at the Denver Art Museum brings mini art exhibitions to your community or school. Serving Title I schools and historically underserved communities across the seven Science & Cultural Facilities District counties, this program offers students, families, and educators a chance to enjoy art-based learning by engaging with art from local artists and participating in artmaking workshops.
Creativity in Practice
Creativity in Practice is the Denver Art Museum’s professional development program for early childhood educators. It is a program designed to increase teachers’ confidence and skill in incorporating art and creativity in the classroom. Participants earn up to seven hours of PDIS-aligned continuing education credit.
The next cohort will take place in Spring 2027. For more information on this and other professional development opportunities for educators, please contact Claudia Muñoz at cmunoz@denverartmuseum.org.
