Museum of Contemporary Art Denver

It's our birthday! Honestly, have you ever seen 30 look so good?!

This year, MCA Denver is turning 30, and we’re only getting better with age. Bold art, big ideas, and a slight disregard for acting our age. You’ve helped make this museum a place where artists take risks, teens find their creative voices, and Denver comes together to find community, inspiration, and  the unexpected.

And we have plenty to show for it. Just this year, your generosity helped us:

• Open three exhibitions featuring 33 artists

• Produce 111 programs that sparked curiosity, conversation, and excitement (including a sold-out artist talk with the iconic Peaches)

• Provide 10 teen and young adult internships (including installing the first piece of public art at the Mayors office from our Fall 2025 Failure Lab Exhibition.)

• Collaborate with community partners across Denver and beyond

• Host 3 teen exhibitions, 2 failure lab's and 1 artist residency. All to showcase and amplify young voices.

• Welcome more than 46,000 museum visitors and 5,700 attendees at the Holiday Theater

Our birthday wish? More of all of it. More art that makes you look twice. More room for young creatives to make their mark. More moments that remind us why a home for contemporary art in Denver is essential to a city that thrives.

Turning 30 doesn’t mean settling down. With your support, we’re just getting started. Throw us a little birthday love? Your support keeps Denver bold, creative, and a little unexpected. Select “monthly donation” to keep the celebration going all year long.
