EXHIBITIONS AND COLLECTIONS: EACH YEAR, THE DENVER ART MUSEUM (DAM) PRESENTS EXHIBITIONS THAT PROVIDE A VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES WITH ART, REGULARLY ATTRACTING 600,000 TO 800,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY. THE MUSEUM'S APPROACH TO EXHIBITIONS CELEBRATES THE CREATIVITY OF INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS WHO HAVE MADE AN EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT, AND IGNITES CREATIVITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE ENGAGING AND INTERACTIVE ART EXPERIENCES. AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS IN 2022: -WHISTLER TO CASSATT, AMERICAN PAINTERS IN FRANCE, ON VIEW FROM NOVEMBER 14, 2021 THROUGH MARCH 13, 2022, FEATURED MORE THAN 100 PAINTINGS MADE BETWEEN 1855 AND 1913 IN THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF FRANCE'S STYLISTIC IMPACT ON AMERICAN PAINTING OF THE PERIOD. FROM ACADEMIC TRAINING IN PARIS TO EXPLORATION OF THE COUNTRYSIDE LANDSCAPE, WHISTLER TO CASSATT REVEALED BOTH THE VISUAL AND CONCEPTUAL INFLUENCES OF FRANCE ON AMERICAN PAINTERS IN THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. -TRAITOR, SURVIVOR, ICON: THE LEGACY OF LA MALINCHE EXAMINED THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF LA MALINCHE. BOTH REVILED AS A TRAITOR AND HAILED AS THE MOTHER OF MEXICO, MALINCHE IS AN ENIGMATIC FIGURE WHOSE LEGACY HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF CONTROVERSY AND ADULATION FROM THE 1500S THROUGH THE PRESENT DAY. ON VIEW FROM FEBRUARY 6, 2022 THROUGH MAY 8, 2022. -SUITED: EMPOWERED FEMININE FASHION, ON VIEW FROM OCTOBER 24, 2021 THROUGH MARCH 6, 2022, EXPLORED THE EVOLUTION OF THE TAILORED SUIT FOR THE FEMALE FORM OVER THE COURSE OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND BEYOND. SUITED FEATURES 85 LOOKS FROM 1900 THROUGH THE PRESENT DAY, WITH PIECES DRAWN FROM THE MUSEUM'S HOLDINGS-INCLUDING FROM A MAJOR DONATION BY SUSAN GUTFREUND-AS WELL AS LOANS FROM HISTORY COLORADO CENTER AND PRIVATE COLLECTORS INCLUDING JOY DINSDALE. MINING MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF FASHION HISTORY, THIS EXHIBITION TRACED THE WAYS IN WHICH HIGH FASHION DEVELOPED ALONGSIDE THE CHANGING ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY AND THE GROWING FEMINIST MOVEMENT, AND HOW STYLES EVOLVED TO INCORPORATE MENSWEAR-INSPIRED SILHOUETTES AND FUNCTIONAL PIECES CONDUCIVE TO COMPLEX LIFESTYLES. -REVISIN: ART IN THE AMERICAS, OCTOBER 24, 2021 THROUGH JULY 17, 2022, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EXHIBITIONS TO OPEN IN THE RENOVATED MARTIN BUILDING. A STRONG SELECTION OF NEARLY 180 OBJECTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S ANCIENT AMERICAN AND LATIN AMERICAN ART COLLECTIONS, HAILED AS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY, TOLD A VISUALLY COMPELLING NARRATIVE ABOUT THE FORMATION OF THE AMERICAS FROM 100 B.C. TO TODAY. OTHER EXHIBITIONS OFFERED IN 2022 INCLUDE: -MODERN WOMEN/MODERN VISION: WORKS FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA COLLECTION -AGE OF ARMOR: TREASURES FROM THE HIGGINS COLLECTION AT THE WORCESTER ART MUSEUM -CARLA FERNNDEZ CASA DE MODA -GEORGIA O'KEEFFE, PHOTOGRAPHER

LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS: THE DENVER ART MUSEUM (DAM) BELIEVES THAT ART CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES BY CELEBRATING AND STIMULATING CREATIVITY AND INSPIRING GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF AND CONNECTION WITH THE WORLD. TO FULFILL THIS VISION, THE DAM'S DEPARTMENT OF LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT STRIVES TO MAKE ART RELEVANT AND ENJOYABLE TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES, AND BACKGROUNDS. THE DEPARTMENT OF LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT HAS TAKEN A LEADING ROLE BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY IN THREE AREAS: 1) RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT VISITORS NEED TO MAKE A MUSEUM VISIT MEANINGFUL; 2) CREATION OF RICH AND INNOVATIVE LEARNING RESOURCES IN COLLECTION INSTALLATIONS, TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS, AND IN-COMMUNITY PROGRAMS; AND 3) INTERACTIVE LEARNING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN BOTH SCHOOL AND FAMILY GROUPS. THE DEPARTMENT HOSTS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM COLLEAGUES, ACTIVELY PRESENTS AT NATIONAL CONFERENCES, AND OPENLY SHARES FINDINGS AND BEST PRACTICES WITH THE MUSEUM FIELD.

TO MAKE THE MUSEUM ENGAGING FOR KIDS AND THEIR GROWN-UPS, THE DAM TAKES A TWO-PRONGED APPROACH: 1) OFFERING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES AT "PEAK FAMILY TIMES" (WEEKENDS, SCHOOL BREAKS, AND SUMMER) AND 2) INTEGRATING FAMILY MATERIALS INTO INSTALLATIONS, EXHIBITIONS, AND PUBLIC SPACES SO THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY FOR FAMILIES TO CONNECT WITH ART. FAMILY ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED WITH THE COST OF GENERAL ADMISSION.

FOR SECONDARY AGE-GROUPS (GRADES 6-12), THE DAM OFFERS SUPPORTED DISCOVERY EXPERIENCES THAT ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO DEEPLY ENGAGE WITH DIFFERENT THEMES - DESIGN THINKING AND ART & SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS, FOR EXAMPLE - AND THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT PROCESS, ARTIST VOICE, NARRATIVES AND COUNTERNARRATIVES, AND SOCIO- POLITICAL CONTEXTS SURROUNDING ART.

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A EXHIBITIONS AND COLLECTIONS: EACH YEAR, THE DENVER ART MUSEUM (DAM) PRESENTS EXHIBITIONS THAT PROVIDE A VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES WITH ART, REGULARLY ATTRACTING 600,000 TO 800,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY. THE MUSEUM'S APPROACH TO EXHIBITIONS CELEBRATES THE CREATIVITY OF INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS WHO HAVE MADE AN EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT, AND IGNITES CREATIVITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE ENGAGING AND INTERACTIVE ART EXPERIENCES. AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS IN 2022: -WHISTLER TO CASSATT, AMERICAN PAINTERS IN FRANCE, ON VIEW FROM NOVEMBER 14, 2021 THROUGH MARCH 13, 2022, FEATURED MORE THAN 100 PAINTINGS MADE BETWEEN 1855 AND 1913 IN THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF FRANCE'S STYLISTIC IMPACT ON AMERICAN PAINTING OF THE PERIOD. FROM ACADEMIC TRAINING IN PARIS TO EXPLORATION OF THE COUNTRYSIDE LANDSCAPE, WHISTLER TO CASSATT REVEALED BOTH THE VISUAL AND CONCEPTUAL INFLUENCES OF FRANCE ON AMERICAN PAINTERS IN THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. -TRAITOR, SURVIVOR, ICON: THE LEGACY OF LA MALINCHE EXAMINED THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF LA MALINCHE. BOTH REVILED AS A TRAITOR AND HAILED AS THE MOTHER OF MEXICO, MALINCHE IS AN ENIGMATIC FIGURE WHOSE LEGACY HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF CONTROVERSY AND ADULATION FROM THE 1500S THROUGH THE PRESENT DAY. ON VIEW FROM FEBRUARY 6, 2022 THROUGH MAY 8, 2022. -SUITED: EMPOWERED FEMININE FASHION, ON VIEW FROM OCTOBER 24, 2021 THROUGH MARCH 6, 2022, EXPLORED THE EVOLUTION OF THE TAILORED SUIT FOR THE FEMALE FORM OVER THE COURSE OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND BEYOND. SUITED FEATURES 85 LOOKS FROM 1900 THROUGH THE PRESENT DAY, WITH PIECES DRAWN FROM THE MUSEUM'S HOLDINGS-INCLUDING FROM A MAJOR DONATION BY SUSAN GUTFREUND-AS WELL AS LOANS FROM HISTORY COLORADO CENTER AND PRIVATE COLLECTORS INCLUDING JOY DINSDALE. MINING MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF FASHION HISTORY, THIS EXHIBITION TRACED THE WAYS IN WHICH HIGH FASHION DEVELOPED ALONGSIDE THE CHANGING ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY AND THE GROWING FEMINIST MOVEMENT, AND HOW STYLES EVOLVED TO INCORPORATE MENSWEAR-INSPIRED SILHOUETTES AND FUNCTIONAL PIECES CONDUCIVE TO COMPLEX LIFESTYLES. -REVISIN: ART IN THE AMERICAS, OCTOBER 24, 2021 THROUGH JULY 17, 2022, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EXHIBITIONS TO OPEN IN THE RENOVATED MARTIN BUILDING. A STRONG SELECTION OF NEARLY 180 OBJECTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S ANCIENT AMERICAN AND LATIN AMERICAN ART COLLECTIONS, HAILED AS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY, TOLD A VISUALLY COMPELLING NARRATIVE ABOUT THE FORMATION OF THE AMERICAS FROM 100 B.C. TO TODAY. OTHER EXHIBITIONS OFFERED IN 2022 INCLUDE: -MODERN WOMEN/MODERN VISION: WORKS FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA COLLECTION -AGE OF ARMOR: TREASURES FROM THE HIGGINS COLLECTION AT THE WORCESTER ART MUSEUM -CARLA FERNNDEZ CASA DE MODA -GEORGIA O'KEEFFE, PHOTOGRAPHER
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS: THE DENVER ART MUSEUM (DAM) BELIEVES THAT ART CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES BY CELEBRATING AND STIMULATING CREATIVITY AND INSPIRING GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF AND CONNECTION WITH THE WORLD.

THE DEPARTMENT OF LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT HAS TAKEN A LEADING ROLE BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY IN THREE AREAS: 1) RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT VISITORS NEED TO MAKE A MUSEUM VISIT MEANINGFUL; 2) CREATION OF RICH AND INNOVATIVE LEARNING RESOURCES IN COLLECTION INSTALLATIONS, TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS, AND IN-COMMUNITY PROGRAMS; AND 3) INTERACTIVE LEARNING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN BOTH SCHOOL AND FAMILY GROUPS. THE DEPARTMENT HOSTS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM COLLEAGUES, ACTIVELY PRESENTS AT NATIONAL CONFERENCES, AND OPENLY SHARES FINDINGS AND BEST PRACTICES WITH THE MUSEUM FIELD.
