Artist Interview
Untitled Creative Fusions
Join us on Facebook and YouTube on May 15, 16, and 17 at 7 pm MST for the Denver Art Museum’s first Untitled: Creative Fusions at Home! This is the online version of the Untitled: Creative Fusions event that happens quarterly at the museum. The online version, like the onsite version, is curated by local creatives and inspired by artwork at the museum.
For this event, Becky Wareing Steele and Libby Barbee are our two featured artists who collaborated with us and other local creatives to develop a three-episode online variety show full of fun and unexpected experiences.
Untitled Creative Fusions
The Denver Art Museum hosts Untitled: Creative Fusions four times a year. In January, we collaborated with Eileen Roscina and Joshua Ware and many other local creatives for a night of performances, fun activities, and tours that explored the space between the manmade and the natural.
If you missed the January Untitled: Creative Fusion, check out this video to see a recap of the night, and make sure to mark your calendar for the next Untitled: Creative Fusion on April 24.

At every Untitled: Creative Fusions two featured artists collaborate with the Denver Art Museum and other local creatives to develop an evening of fun and surprises. For the January artists, Eileen Roscina Richardson and Joshua Ware, we asked them what they are most excited about related to their theme for the evening of Entanglements.

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.

—Liz Simmons, The Westword
Take a video tour of Her Paris: Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism and see why it's getting rave reviews. Below are just a few of the comments visitors have shared with us:
1. I loved the exhibit. One of my favorites of all time. I have been a member for many years & have visited many exhibits starting in the late 1980s. This is one of the best. Everyone should see it. Its themes are so relevant for our times in history. – JPT
