Join artists Ramon Bonilla and Brenton Weyi online for Untitled: Creative Fusions from the comfort of your home on Friday, July 31, at 7 pm on our Youtube or Facebook pages.
The event will be livestreamed from the museum with recorded videos from collaborators sprinkled in. Focusing on the Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom exhibition, the night will feature local Denver creatives addressing the theme of "Re:viewing." Interact with performers, learn a new artmaking practice, and connect with the creative community as we revisit stories of freedom and equality.
A look back at the impacts other pandemics and epidemics have had on world populations and their arts.
The Untitled: Creative Fusions program premiered on May 15, 16, and 17 in a digital format with three bite-size episodes for an "at home" experience. Libby Barbee and Becky Wareing Steele, this edition's featured artists, took viewers on a journey through the theme of "Unearthing Place," inspired by Natural Forces: Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington.
With Untitled: Creative Fusions at Home approaching on May 15, 16, and 17, we asked a few of the event's participating artists to tell us how they've interpreted the theme of "Unearthing Place" and what activities viewers can expect to see when they hit the virtual stage.
Altarpiece, gifted to the Denver Art Museum by Yoko Ono, is considered Keith Haring’s final work, executed weeks before he died of AIDS on February 16, 1990. It serves as a testament to the power of creativity and the artist’s willingness to share his vision even as he was mortally ill. Featuring his signature hieroglyphic figures, this bronze triptych recalls Christian altarpieces as well as devotional shrines dedicated to the deities of world religions. Determined to finish it before he died, Haring rapidly cut the design into clay, which was later cast in bronze.
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!

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.

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.

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.
