Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum will develop a Latino artist-in-residence program to better reflect the full diversity of the community. The museum will create a series of one-month Latino artist residencies, bringing Latino artists of local, national, and international stature to the museum. Resident artists will create art in a workshop integrated into the museum's galleries showcasing acclaimed collections of pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The artists will work with museum staff to create public programs that enliven the workshop, engage visitors, and bridge to the local Latino community. A bilingual audience evaluation consultant will conduct interviews and facilitate community forums designed to elicit feedback from visitors, Latino artists, and Latino non-visitors, laying the groundwork for a community-informed design of a permanent artist's workshop.
