Untitled: Empire
Untitled Creative Fusions
It’s the last Untitled Final Friday of 2016 (Untitled is on hiatus November and December) and we’re celebrating by rolling back the clock to the gold, glamour, and Glory of Venice. Come on by, but better move fast, because Glory Days…well, they’ll pass you by.
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.

Untitled: Stop Motion is the last of our dance-themed Untitled Final Fridays, exploring dance, photography, and artworks that express time. Join us for hands-on activities, dancing, performances, and artist talks.
Explore where stop-motion animation began. Create your own animated flip-book masterpiece, or you can twirl into action with zoetropes and thaumatropes that bring the action to life.
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.)

It’s dance season at the Denver Art Museum and it’s time to take Center Stage at Untitled Final Friday.
All the world’s a stage, but this one’s full of ballerinas, drag queens, and never-before-seen sky-high chair soldiers! What?! Stick around, kid; it’s going to be one heck of a show.

It’s time to get steppin’ for Untitled In-Sync, the first of three movin,’ groovin’ Untitled Final Fridays celebrating dance at the Denver Art Museum. For July, we’re gathering our crews for a night of synchronized moves and creative collaborations, as we look at partners, pair-ups, and performances that really, you know…move us!
The Denver Art Museum partners with Denver Public Library’s Plaza program to bring creativity and artmaking to five of the local library branches—Hadley, Hampden, Gonzalez, Montbello, and Ross-Barnum. Once a month, students and families in the DPL Plaza program create amazing works of art that are now on display at the Denver Art Museum.
Each art project focuses on a theme that is communicated through the artwork. Art is a powerful way of communicating, especially in the Plaza program, which is a meeting place for immigrant and refugee families at the Denver Public Library.
Join us March 19–April 3 for hands-on artmaking, performances, and more fun for families. The Paint Studio, Create-n-Takes, Family Activity Cart, and Just for Fun Center–Japan (it's new!) will be open every day.
A performance of ART EMERGENCY! CODE RED... by Real Live Theater Company kicks off Spring Break on March 19. There are two performances: members-only at 9:30 am; and everyone at 10:30 am. Adult tickets included with general admission; free for members.
Art Emergency also will be performed on April 16 and May 21.
