Untitled Creative Fusion - In Stitches

I attended "Untitled Creative Fusion - In Stitches" at the Denver Art Museum (The DAM) last night, which turned out to be a pretty subdued affair. This is a quarterly event that takes place on the last Friday night of the month. Yesterday, the focus was on collaborative art projects and art as therapy, with small groups working on fabric related, collaborative art projects. This affair has replaced Final Fridays, for many years a monthly event at the DAM that featured a DJ blasting music, tours of the museum, a free buffet table and cash bar, and my favorite part: a comedy team from the Buntport Theater that featured "Joan and Charlie," a routine based on one of the museum's iconic art works. These evenings drew big crowds every month, which gradually diminshed as the event kept getting scaled back, a big reason being the closure of the North Building for renovations back in 2017. This October, that building will reopen, but will Final Fridays be back, too? I certainly hope so. I hate to say it, but "Untitled Creative Fusion" is DAM boring.
