Your children are one-of-a-kind, and so is the art they make. That’s why we designed the Artist-in-Residence Program.

current artist: cal duran

Cal is a mixed-media artist and educator who uses art as a tool for exploring self-love and heritage. During his residency, guests will have the opportunity to learn traditional weaving techniques that have been passed down through generations, while also experiencing the meditative nature of connecting with ourselves.

You can join him in the Artist-in-Residence Studio most Fridays and Saturdays through April 12!

Artist-in-Residence Blog

To share the wonder and joy with you, we created an Artist-in-Residence Blog. Be sure to check it out regularly for cool videos, open studio hours, workshops, interviews with the artists and the collaborated works our artists make with you - Museum guests.

What is the Artist-in-Residence Program?

A truly special, exclusive art opportunity. Not only do professional Colorado artists come to work in the Museum and create beautiful art, but visiting guests of all ages contribute and collaborate.

The program is open to artists working in a variety of media, including sculpture, illustration, paints or textiles. Artists set up shop in The Art Studio and work for 2-3 months on a project to install at the Museum. Children and adults alike are invited to be part of this amazing program and witness the impact your creativity can make in the world!

Curious about the program? Check out this video to hear from some of our former artists about why this program is so amazing!

We are now accepting applications for the class of 2025. Learn more and apply here.
