Untitled Creative Fusions
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.
Untitled Creative Fusions
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.
Verla Howell will have open studio hours in the Powwow Regalia Studio from 10 am–2 pm, July 28–31.

Thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Denver Art Museum will be working with four local creatives and artists to present Cuatro [4]: A Series of Artist Interactions over the next year. Artists participating in this series will create projects inspired by our pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial galleries. We’re excited to welcome our first artist of the series, Carlos Frésquez, a celebrated Chicano artist and Denver native.
Mary Young Bear will have open studio hours in the Powwow Regalia Studio from 10 am–2 pm, Thursdays–Sundays, June 9–19.

Nooner Tours— A Chat with an Artist
Editor's Note: Gregg Deal is the Native Arts Artist-in-Residence. He hosts public hours 11 am–2 pm January 13-17 and will perform at Untitled Final Friday on January 29. Below is a blog he wrote about his recent performance piece at the DAM, Ethnographic Zoo.
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz will be in the Flower Studio at the Denver Art Museum demonstrating her creative process October 10 and 11.
Dawn is the owner of DSH Perfumes in Boulder, Colorado and is regarded as a prolific artist and consummate niche perfumer. She uses her education in the arts as a painting student to design her exceptional aromas using the principals of fine arts such as shape, color, light, expression, and texture. As an artist, Hurwitz often draws inspiration from her surroundings and other works of art.
When Tom Haukaas was young, he spent hours watching the traditional dancers of his Rosebud Sioux Tribe with awe. He was impressed not only by their dancing, but also with the beauty of their elaborate costumes. He couldn’t afford to buy the garments so he decided to learn how to make them. Surrounded by family and friends who were skilled at both quilt and beadwork, Haukaas learned from the best, eventually developing his own original aesthetic.
Currently on view at the Denver Art Museum is the exhibition Revolt 1680/2180: Virgil Ortiz featuring 31 ceramic works by the eponymous artist. Ortiz's work is a unique blend of tradition and futurism drawn together to create an immersive story line. Recently, I corresponded with Virgil Ortiz through e-mail for insight on his inspirations and approaches to artmaking.
