Denver Art Museum Mural Project

Overview

The Denver Art Museum offers several artist engagement programs including residencies, demonstrating artist opportunities, and collaborative projects. Programs include the Native Arts Artist-in-Residence, Creative-in-Residence (currently on hiatus), Demonstrating Artist Program, and collaborations like Untitled: Artist Takeover.

Current Projects

The Denver Art Museum Mural Project recently commissioned Denver-based painter and muralist Chelsea Hart to create a mural for the Sie Welcome Center titled Collecting Dreams. Hart collected anonymous submissions from the local community about their dreams of the city and used them to inform the mural design.
