When the time came to choose someone to be the next creative-in-residence, well, we knew right away who it should be. That person is Mar Williams. The beauty of working with Williams is that we are simultaneously working with a hacker, an artist, a tinkerer and an extraordinarily creative mind. We are excited about the activities that Williams is creating because they blend technology and art in a way that is new to the DAM and will provide a unique experience for visitors.

"The curiosity package is only for the extra bold, with extra time, at no extra cost. The black cats don’t have answers, but they know where the questions are…." Curious? Good. That’s just the way the Flobots want it. The band is the latest Creative-in-Residence at the Denver Art Museum. Their residency, which runs May 2−May 29, will feature a “curiosity package” with installed elements and live programming to create a dialogue between visitors, artwork, and each other.
