Have you ever looked at a work of contemporary art in a museum and wanted to bring it home? Well, now's your chance. MCA Denver's Octopus Initiative is offering any resident of the Denver metro area the chance to borrow and live with a work of art made by a Denver-based artist for ten months. FOR FREE. You in?
The Octopus Initiative Program has returned! Our fall lottery is curated by our Visitor Services team. Our front desk staff is really the face of the Octopus Initiative because they meet with all our winners, check out their 10 month loans, and check them in when the artworks are returned. This is a wonderful chance to get their take on the artworks. The next lottery will be drawn on November 1!
So, get ready, get registered, and start hearting your favorites. We can’t wait to lend you an artwork from the Octopus Initiative collection!
