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.
Excerpts of poems graced the walls of Natural Forces as a way to layer in other voices of the time period to give a richer context of the American experience. For Americans living in the 19th century especially, poetry was a pervasive part of their lives and served as an important way to engage in political and cultural discourses.
Like so many places, the Denver Art Museum’s day-to-day operations have shifted drastically in recent months. While some of our staff have been working from home—planning, researching, designing, collaborating, producing, and more—members of our facilities and protective services teams continued diligent work onsite to ensure the cleanliness of the museum’s buildings and the safety and preservation of the art inside.
