The final Friday of the month, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) offers a dose of the unexpected with offbeat art encounters, unique detours of the DAM collection, artmaking, local music, cash bar, munchies and more. At each mixed-media Untitled event, the museum explores a specific theme with exhibition related activities and community collaborations. The museum keeps its door open late; each event runs from 6 to 10 p.m. The new season kicks off January 27 with Untitled #43 (Made in China) and continues through Untitled #52 (Written Off) on October 26.

“Untitled is the moment where we highlight ongoing creative community connections while at the same time showcasing what makes the DAM and its collections unique,” says Jaime Kopke, coordinator of adult and college programs. “At Untitled, visitors get to direct their own museum experience, deciding what’s fun and relevant to them while also getting a dose of the DAM’s collections, programming and community partners.”
 
That means visitors get exclusive access to their favorite curators, educators and community experts for one-night only opportunities. Artworks come out of storage, curators give special critiques and specialists share and connect their passion with the museum. Visitors can choose from a full menu of activities to curate their own night.
