Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum will present Thread, a celebration of textile art across collections that coincides with the opening of new textile art galleries at the museum. This suite of exhibits, in-gallery activities, and programming provides a unique opportunity to test optimal methods of adult visitor engagement. The museum education team will develop three types of in-gallery activities inspired by textile objects on view and aimed at adult visitors: Creative Process Stations that offer activities related to technical mastery and artists’ conceptual processes; Hotspots, manned art-making stops designed to illuminate artists’ creative processes and encourage visitors’ creativity; and new content created to connect visitors with the creative process through a smartphone application.
