Family Programs

All families are welcome at the museum! We hope these tips on how to talk about and observe art help your family have a safe and enjoyable visit.

Ask questions.

• What is the first thing you see in the painting?
• Does this artwork remind you of any place you have been?

Have fun!

• Pose like the people, shapes, or lines you see.
• Make up a story.
• Imagine what you would hear, smell, or feel if you were in the art.

Create memories.

• Let your children choose what interests them.
• Take time exploring. You don’t have to see the entire museum in one visit!
• It’s ok if you don’t know much about art.

Bellco believes the arts are fundamental to a healthy community and should be accessible to all. That’s why since 2016, Bellco has been a sponsor of the Denver Art Museum's "Free for Kids" program, ensuring that more children can experience the transformative power of art.

To celebrate our sponsorship of the Free for Kids program, Bellco and the Denver Art Museum commissioned an outdoor wall mural, by renowned Denver muralists Jaime Molina and Pedro Barrios.
