Couldn't make it to a recent event? No sweat.

Watch Jason Moran's Artist Talk with Miranda Lash, Ellen Bruss Senior Curator, where they talk about capturing the residue of music making, the history of jazz in Denver, and the origins of his exhibition.

For this program, Deborah Roberts is joined by Nora Burnett Abrams, MCA Denver’s Mark G. Falcone Director, for a conversation discussing the evolution of Roberts’s practice and her journey as an artist.

STAGED: Three Deuces — Jason Moran's installation currently on view — takes its name from a legendary jazz club in New York, once located in a basement on 52nd Street. Once a month, the space is activated with renowned jazz musicians performing on classic instruments.

B-Side Music Fridays is a live music series on Friday nights in July and August where Colorado musicians perform in MCA Denver’s rooftop garden. If you missed our 2021 series, meet the local musicians and hear some of their songs.
