My CSM Champions Art for All

Over the past year, the Clyfford Still Museum welcomed more than 25,000 visitors, with an impressive 40% enjoying free or low-cost admission through community programs, pay-what-you-wish days, and free entry for anyone under 17.  But CSM’s commitment to “Art for All” goes beyond just opening the doors—it’s about fostering a welcoming and accessible space that reflects Denver’s diverse spirit and encourages learning at every stage of life.

From the moment you step inside, CSM’s friendly staff is there to help you explore the museum in your own way.  Whether you’re enjoying live music in the galleries, attending an art-making event, or taking a guided tour, CSM invites you to ask questions, get comfortable, and stay as long as you like.

Throughout the Museum, you’ll find bilingual exhibition texts, free family guides in both English and Spanish, and large-print text guides.  The artworks are displayed at lower heights to encourage interaction from different perspectives—even if that means lying on the floor for a new angle.  At CSM, you’re encouraged to discover art on your own terms and continue exploring throughout your life.

This inclusive spirit shines through CSM’s programs for all ages.  The Art Crawl program, designed for babies and caregivers, nurtures early learning and bonding through art.  The inStill program provides creative arts experiences for PreK-12 students, focusing on underfunded schools to ensure every child has the opportunity to connect with art.  With each new exhibition, CSM offers talks, tours, and community events that invite people of all ages to explore art more deeply. CSM is truly a place where learners, from infants to adults, can enrich their understanding and connection with art!

By contributing to my campaign, you’re helping CSM continue its vital work of making art accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or ability to pay.  Your support ensures that programs like Art Crawl, inStill, and low-cost admission can keep thriving, allowing people from across our community to experience the transformative power of art in an environment that welcomes everyone.  Join me in championing "Art for All" at CSM—every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in keeping these inclusive programs alive and growing!
