Mixed Taste: Still At Home
The off-beat series you’ve loved in person for nearly 18 years can still be enjoyed without having to put pants on. That’s right — Mixed Taste is back for a winter edition! And it's still virtual because we're still at home.
Two speakers get 20 minutes each to enlighten you on unrelated topics, selected by a guest curator for the first time: Mixed Taste fan-favorite lecturer Adrian Miller. After the speaking portion, ideas start to blend when audience members ask questions and anything goes.
This is our second edition of Mixed Taste presented virtually, so you can tune in from any device anywhere in the world. Mixed Taste: Still At Home will only be a three-part series, so don't miss out on this wildly popular program.
Each evening will conclude with an original poem inspired by the topics performed by some of Denver’s best poets.
How to Watch
Tickets to each event are $10, or get a bundle of all three events for $25. Bundle buyers will also receive a free bonus event: a virtual Friday Fish Fry with curator Adrian Miller at 12PM on March 5! (Please note: 3-event series bundles are no longer available.)
A streaming link will be sent to buyers via the email on your DCPA account 24 hours prior to the event. A final reminder with the link will also be sent at 6PM MST the day of each event, one hour prior to the 7PM MT start.
Can’t watch night-of? No problem!
Ticket purchasers will be able to use the streaming details provided to watch through Apr 3, 2021 — one month after the final event.
Can you help us out?
You can choose a higher-priced ticket or add on a donation to help support both the DCPA and MCA Denver.
Please consider the number of people that may stream this project with you and select the price that works best for you. Previous in-person Mixed Taste events were $20 per person.
