Denver Art Museum

We are currently seeking creative educators to develop and instruct Creative Classes for adult audiences for the Summer/Fall 2025 semester! Both experimental and traditional approaches that speak to the breadth of creative practice may be explored—to widen and ignite the creative perspective of Denver Art Museum visitors and develop connections with exhibitions and collections. Read through the request for proposals and submit your information: https://bit.ly/3A8mnOL The current Creative Classes include topics such as: meditation and painting, drawing, nontraditional weaving techniques, natural fabric dyeing methods, painting and collage, and monotype printmaking. Our motto is “everyone is creative,” and we work to create a class schedule and class content that will spark the interest of a wide audience. We are open to all creative pursuits in the Visual Arts that can educate an adult audience in learning new techniques and developing a deeper understanding of creative practice.
