Calling all Artists, Activists, and Archivists

This Friday, August 18th, Denver will be introduced to Arthyve through an assembly at the McNichols Civic Center Building titled “Archives for Artists.” Arthyve is a newly-formed non-profit community arts archive created by and for the community to celebrate, preserve and document Denver and Colorado’s thriving and prolific arts and culture. Arthyve is currently securing funding and a permanent space, and will soon exist as a brick and mortar archive, programming space and arts library. With this inaugural program, Arthyve aims to give the arts community a first-step introduction into the radical act of archiving and to bring to center under-represented communities in our rapidly changing city.

ABOUT Arthyve: Arthyve is a collective of artists, activists, and archivists committed to transcending, and challenging mainstream art representation, while celebrating, preserving and documenting the creative communities and practices throughout our city and state. We manifest our mission through public programming, workshops, exhibitions, collections development and interdisciplinary talks, all of which inspire critical inquiry, scholarship and creative engagement.

MCA Denver & DCPA'S Off-Center Present Mixed Taste 2017

Mixed Taste: Tag Team Lectures on unrelated topics

Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts

Every Wednesday at 6:30 pm from July 5 - August 23, 2017

Even mismatched subjects find common ground in a lecture series that can go almost anywhere. Two speakers get twenty minutes to enlighten you on two unrelated topics, but can’t make any connections to each other. Ideas start to blend afterward when audience members ask questions to both speakers at the same time, and anything goes.

This year, Mixed Taste is bigger and weirder than ever, as we partner with DCPA's Off Center and the event moves to the Seawell Grand Ballroom.

Final Fridays at the DAM: Untitled

Denver Art Museum

Last Friday of Each Month, 6-10pm, from January through October, 2017

On the final Friday evening of the month, January through October, the DAM offers a unique after-hours museum experience with unconventional art encounters, new insights into the DAM collections, a cash bar and more. At each mixed-media Untitled Final Friday event, the museum highlights a specific theme with exhibition and collection inspired activities and local creative collaborations across the museum campus from 6 to 10 p.m.

“Untitled Final Fridays is a collaborative program designed to give visitors a non-traditional museum experience and connect the museum with the local artists that make Denver a thriving national art scene,” said Lauren Hegge, adult programs coordinator. “Untitled is created hand-in-hand with members of Denver’s creative community, and diversified every month to activate our collections, while offering off-beat art experiences and a fun night out.”

During Untitled, visitors are encouraged to curate their own night by choosing from the full menu of activities ranging from hands-on projects to tours with a twist to unexpected performances and expert chats. Each year, the DAM hosts Meet Here for discussion and brainstorming with community creatives of all disciplines—including designers, filmmakers, musicians, chefs, dancers and crafters. Their feedback and ideas help develop the upcoming season’s programs.

Joan and Charlie Discuss Tonight’s Theme: At each Untitled Final Friday event, visitors can watch Buntport Theater perform their sitcom, Joan and Charlie Discuss Tonight’s Theme, based on a painting found in the modern and contemporary art collection.
