Southwest Impressions: A Broader Perspective

The unique beauty of the American Southwest has inspired generations of artists including printmakers. Thanks to Barbara J. Thompson’s generous gift of fine art prints on display in the "Southwest Impressions" exhibition at the Denver Art Museum, the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM is able to tell these multi-faceted stories of inspiration, exchange, and artistic excellence.

In conjunction, this symposium will consider an array of American printmakers’ stories and techniques from the late 1800s into the mid-1900s as they sought to capture and express their impressions of the region.

Ticked required, discount for members and Museum Friends, free for students. Ticketing link coming soon.

Doors open at 9am. Questions? Please email c3ltcG9zaXVtIHwgZGVudmVyYXJ0bXVzZXVtICEgb3Jn or call 720-913-0130
