Cuatro [4]: A Series of Artist Interactions (which began with Carlos Frésquez' project) focuses on four local artists and creatives who will bring the Denver Art Museum’s pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art collections to life. Our second artist of the series, Danette Montoya, debuts her installation of Las Almas de los Muertos on October 18, and it will evolve over four weeks.
Creativity and imagination fill the gallery space in the lower level of the North Building at the Denver Art Museum. The DAM is currently showcasing artwork by early childhood students—children under the age of six. All of the pieces on view were created by the students of Mile High Early Learning and Clayton Early Learning. The artwork has been created in a variety of ways with a wide range of materials. These creative young artists have made a stunning array of colorful and eye-catching artwork with the help of dedicated teachers and staff.
Earlier this month, the Denver Art Museum held the Let's Go Colorado! photography contest. Participants were instructed to follow in the footsteps of photographers Timothy H. O'Sullivan and William H. Bell, whose work is currently on view in On Desert Time: Landscape Photographs by O’Sullivan & Bell, 1871-1874, and capture an image that reflects both the bones of the Colorado landscape and their own discoveries in the area.
October is Art Beyond Sight Awareness Month, a monthlong event wherein numerous museums and cultural institutions around the world support and bring awareness to the importance of the arts in the lives of those with vision loss.
It may be September but the Denver Art Museum is still celebrating the summer of Dance! with the 27th Annual Friendship Powwow and American Indian Cultural Celebration. On September 10, 2016, dances, drumming, and more take place on Acoma Plaza (between the museum’s North Building and the main branch of the Denver Public Library). There also are great programs happening inside the museum—and general admission is free! (Youth 18 and younger always receive free general admission to the DAM.)
