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 2020:- The Denver Art Museum was the sole venue for Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature, which featured more than 120 paintings spanning the artist's entire career and celebrating his enduring relationship with nature and response to the varied and distinct places in which he worked. It was the most comprehensive U.S. exhibition on Monet in more than two decades.- Natural Forces: Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington featured 60 artworks that explored the connections between artistic themes and techniques used by the two acclaimed American artists. Born a generation apart, both artists succeeded in capturing the quintessential American spirit through works of art at the turn of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, an era of growing industrialization and notions of the closing of the American western frontier. - Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom presented how the artist and his contemporary illustrators became important storytellers who advanced important civic ideas through their creative advertising and imagery. The exhibition narrative highlighted Rockwell's war-era artworks that reinforced the positive approach of bringing Americans together for the common good. - Treasures of British Art: The Berger Collection (on view through December 6, 2020) showcases about 60 paintings gifted to the museum by the Berger Collection Educational Trust in 2018, which was the largest gift of European old masters to the DAM since the 1950s. The exhibition presents 500 years of British cultural history through the stories of its people.- The Light Show (on view through March 7, 2021) explores physical and symbolic representations of light in art through a thought-provoking narrative. The exhibition features about 250 objects drawn from the DAM's nine curatorial departments and focuses on the quest by humanity and artists to understand physical light as well as metaphorical, spiritual, and divine representations of light.Other exhibitions offered in 2020 include: - Eyes On: Erika Harrsch- Eyes On: Jonathan Saiz- Shantell Martin: Words and Lines- Phantom Canyon: A Digital Circuit 10568205 721 Premises and Buildings - See Schedule OPremises & Buildings: These costs include all expenditures associated with the day-to-day operations of the Museum's facilities. Exhibition and permanent galleries displayed a variety of artwork for the public's enjoyment while the Museum's public spaces enable museum staff and volunteers to conduct frequent learning and engagement programs including tours, public talks, interpretive programs, art-making activities, and more. The premises and buildings provide ample space for mission-driven programming aimed at enriching the lives of this and future generations, and for which the Museum has been internationally recognized. 2262552 59066 Learning and Engagement Programs - See Schedule OLearning 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 our 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 and temporary exhibitions; and 3) interactive learning for young people in both school and family groups. The Department hosts over ten site visits a year from national and international museum colleagues, actively presents at national conferences, and has a strong track record of sharing findings and best practices with the museum field. (Reports are on the DAM website under 'Research & Reports.') Programs include:- In-Gallery Installations: The museum's in-gallery interpretive installations provide visitors with a variety of ways to explore temporary exhibitions and permanent collections on their own. Audio tours for adults and children, interactive gallery activities, bilingual wall text, Discovery Libraries, family guides, and more deepen visitors' experiences with art. - Family Programs: The DAM is committed to being a truly family-friendly institution, offering free general admission to all youth ages 18 and under through the Free for Kids program. In order to make the museum engaging for kids and their grown-ups, we take 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. On weekends and school breaks, families can check out Family Backpacks, which are kid-sized packs filled with games and learning materials for families to use on their own in the galleries. Discovery Library costume areas, gallery games, and dedicated family spaces inspired by special exhibitions and permanent collections that feature hands-on activities are always available. Create Playdate targets 3-5 year olds and their families and Foxy and Shmoxy Art Detectives targets toddlers, helping grown-ups explore the museum with young children through storytelling, theater, and artmaking opportunities. In addition, The Studio is a dedicated workshop for hands-on projects and artist demonstrations inspired by exhibition themes. - Lifelong Learning and Accessibility: The DAM offers a wide range of opportunities for adults to discover, explore, and make personal connections to collections and exhibitions. Programs range from tours, studio classes, and art history courses to Insider Moments with curators and working artists in the galleries. Drop-in Drawing and Drop-in Writing, and Mindful Looking provide unique ways for visitors to slow down, engage with art on view, and explore their creativity. The DAM offers Creative Aging programs to support older adults at the DAM and in-community, including Create Caf, Sensory Garden installations, Art at Hand, and more. Intentionally designed access programs offer visitors with different abilities to have a rich, engaging experience at the museum. Low-Sensory Mornings offered quarterly provide adults and families with a quiet, less sensory stimulating environment during their visit, and Art & About is a monthly tour program designed for individuals with early Alzheimer's and their care partners. Tactile Tours and Verbal Description Tours support visitors who are blind or have low vision. -School and Teacher Programs: The hallmark of DAM's school tour program is its interactive touring approach. The introductory all-museum tours, Perception Games and Imagination Games, have been featured at several national conferences, as have the touchable materials and activities developed for culture and architecture based tours. Creative Explorers, a tour for early childhood groups (ages 3-5), uses storytelling, artmaking, and movement to inspire young students to engage with art. Around 70,000 students visit the museum each year to explore topics related to visual arts, social studies, and language arts curricula. Creativity Resource, the museum's online resource for teachers, uses the creativity of artists to inspire creativity in teachers and students. Resources include downloadable art images, artist and artwork information, lesson plans and multi-media resources, and curated blogs on cultural and creativity topics. - Community Partnerships: The DAM values community partnerships and engages various nonprofits, community and business leaders, and government officials through standing advisory committees (e.g., Creative Aging Forum, Access Advisory Committee, Latino Audience Alliance). Other ad hoc committees support in-gallery interpretation and programs to help create inclusive experiences that represent a diverse range of voices (e.g., artists, curators, scholars, non-art experts, community members, and more). - Outreach and Community Programs: The Learning and Engagement Department is involved in several strategic collaborations designed to take art experiences into the community and encourage museum visitation by a broader audience. Family Art Social is an in-community program hosted at area schools, largely Title I, designed to show families that art can foster relationships and develop creativity and problem solving skills. The program is held in conjunction with school events (e.g., parent night) and feature a bilingual (English and Spanish) lead facilitator and two additional facilitators; materials that include recycled found objects; and food for participants. Students pick a "creative challenge" from a bucket to spark ideas for projects. Similarly, Art Lives Here/El Arte Vive Aqu takes the DAM offsite to schools, often Title I, and community centers that have difficulty visiting the museum. The program provides an immersive experience for students, teachers, and families to engage with museum art objects--in essence, a traveling mini-museum. Three versions of the installation now travel to approximately twenty schools and community centers annually. The installations "live" in each school for one month, allowing students, teachers, and families to have multiple interactions with the objects. At the end of both programs, staff pass out free passes to adults to encourage them to visit the museum. Museum Connectors (MC), a program based on the promatoras model of community health, introduces the museum to families with young children from underserved communities. The MCs go through training and visits to the museum to increase their comfort and knowledge. They work with staff to learn about planning a visit online, transportation and parking options, museum programs, and other visitor resources. The MCs then lead a small cohort of young families back to the DAM, sharing what they learned and introducing the museum to new visitors.- Partnerships with the Creative Community: Over the past few years, the Department has increasingly focused on programming that seeks to connect visitors with the creativity of artists and to use our collections to inspire creativity in our visitors. Programming has ranged from collaborations with artists to creation of new "making and residency spaces throughout the campus including: 1) The Studio on the first floor of the Hamilton Building, 2) the Native Arts Artist-in-Residence studio in the American Indian galleries, 3) Thread Studio on the sixth floor of the Martin Building, and 4) a Latino Artist residency program in the Spanish Colonial and pre-Colombian galleries. The DAM's Creative-in-Residence program and Untitled series engages visitors with art and creativity through unconventional, participatory encounters with art and creativity.Overall, Learning and Engagement programs both onsite, in the community, and online serve more than 800,000 people annually. 3491276 2907532 Other program services included in this caption are the activities associated with the gift shop, restaurant, and other facilities designed to enhance the visitor's overall museum experience. 3491276 2907532 34439688 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 335 0 1 636 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 35 35 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Curtis Woitte Deputy Dir & CFO 7209130022 100 W 14th Avenue Parkway Denver CO 80204 J Landis Martin Chairman 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Anschutz Hunt Vice Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Craig Ponzio Vice Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Wayne W Murdy Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert S Rich Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Patricia Baca Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jana Bartlit Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Lake Benson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Birnbaum Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mario Carrera Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Merle C Chambers Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 David J Corkins Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Cortez Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joy L Dinsdale Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Duncan Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Farver Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cathey McClain Finlon Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Baryn S Futa Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charles P Gallagher Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arlene Hirschfeld Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 James A Holmes Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mariner Kemper Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Leprino Henry Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kent Logan Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lee McIntire Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Trygve E Myhren Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert C Newman Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn A Paul Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 William B Pauls through 320 Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas A Petrie Trustee 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Precourt Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Reiman Trustee 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard L Robinson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 John J Sie Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 James F Williams II Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Sturm Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christoph Heinrich Director 40.00 X 397624 0 169684 Curtis Woitte Deputy Director/CFO 40.00 X 185968 0 19562 Andrea Fulton Dep.

Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in net assets without donor restrictions in the year in which the items are acquired. Contributed collection items are not reflected on the financial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. Museum policies require that such proceeds be used only to acquire additional art objects. All of the Museum's collection items are held for educational, research, exhibition, and curatorial purposes. Each of these collection items is cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously. Part III, Line 4: The Denver Art Museum (DAM) is dedicated to the collection, preservation, and presentation of art for broadly diverse audiences. With more than 70,000 works of art in its care, the DAM holds the largest and most comprehensive collection of world art between Kansas City and the West Coast. The Museum is an accessible, quality destination, welcoming over 800,000 visitors annually. The Museum is committed to its role as a cultural resource providing shared experiences of art and culture to the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Collections are organized into nine curatorial departments: Architecture, Design & Graphics; Asian; Modern & Contemporary; Native Art (American Indian, African, and Oceanic); New World (pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial); Painting & Sculpture; Textile Art; Western American; and Photography. The DAM strives to enrich the lives of present and future generations through the acquisition, presentation and preservation of works of art. The collections further the organization's exempt purpose by providing the sustenance necessary to educate visitors about the past, present and future, and inspire life-long learning.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Denver Art Museum has approximately 34,000 members who approve the trustees nominated by the Board of Trustees at the annual general membership meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Denver Art Museum members approve the slate of trustees as nominated by the Board of Trustees. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The IRS Form 990 is completed annually and a copy is provided to the Museum's Board Secretary for review. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) provides the Form 990 to the Museum Board's Finance/Audit Committee Chair for review. The Museum's CFO discusses any questions or concerns with the Secretary and the Finance/Audit Committee Chair and necessary changes are updated on the Form 990. Once the CFO is in agreement with the Secretary and the Finance/Audit Committee Chair regarding the finished Form 990, it is signed and dated by the Director and submitted to the IRS by the filing deadline. A copy is made available to all Museum Board Trustees prior to filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Museum's Conflict of Interest Policy is designed to protect the Museum by defining what is a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest and providing procedures to identify and address conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest. Museum trustees, members of committees with delegated powers from the Board of Trustees, officers (Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer), and specific employees including the Museum Director, Executive Assistant to Director, Deputy Directors, Chief Curator, Curator, Assistant or Associate Curator, Department Director, or Department Associate Director (all "Interested Persons") are all covered under the policy. On an annual basis, each Interested Person must complete a "Disclosure and Compliance" form. This form requests information concerning all actual or potential conflicts of interest involving Interested Persons, their immediate family members and certain entities in which they or their immediate family members have an interest. As new trustees join the Board, new committee members are appointed, new officers are elected, or new employees who are covered under the policy are appointed (if those individuals are not already Interested Persons by reason of holding another of these positions) such individuals are also required to complete the "Disclosure and Compliance" form. In case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Museum uses a process at the Executive Committee level to investigate actual or potential conflicts of interest. Following disclosure of an actual or potential conflict, the person or persons involved with the conflict are not permitted to participate in any discussions relevant to determining if a conflict of interest exists. They may, however, be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Executive Committee at which a conflict is being reviewed and may make a presentation to the Executive Committee to disclose the conflict and answer questions relevant thereto, but must leave the meeting during the discussion of and vote on whether the transaction or arrangement at issue resulted in a conflict of interest. If a conflict does exist, the Policy dictates ensuing steps, including investigating alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement and appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. The Museum maintains records concerning investigations of actual and potential conflicts of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Museum's procedures for determining executive compensation include reviewing comparability data, monitoring the competitive market place, and approval by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees. Determining the compensation for the Museum's other officers and employees follows the Museum's compensation policies and practices.
