Thank you to everyone who entered this contest. We saw so many great photos! Photography curator Eric Paddock said, "This was a really fun and interesting experience. There was so much energy among the participating artists, and so many great pictures, that it was awfully hard to settle on a final group. We’re grateful for the opportunity to see everything, and encourage everyone who submitted to keep making pictures!"

The DAM invites you to summon your inner turtle for our inaugural Slow Art Day, an international event with the simple mission to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. On April 14, people all over the world will visit museums and galleries to look at art slowly, lingering with five works of art for 10 minutes each and then joining back up for a conversation about the experience. Though simple in design, you might be surprised at the discoveries that happen just by taking the time to look.
The annual Western American Art Symposium this year is called Beyond America’s Heartland: Regionalism and the Art of the American West.

Featuring four presentations by leading scholars from across the United States, this symposium examines regionalism and its impact on artists working in the American West.
