Programs & Virtual Activities
We organize activities and programs that dive deeply into the ideas behind, and questions raised by, our exhibitions and collections. We also create programs to explore the creative research occurring throughout the university. Whether gallery talks, faculty lectures, expert conversations, concerts, performances, or workshops we welcome students and the public to join us for our free programs at the museum and around CU's campus. Stay tuned and check back, we’re always cooking up exciting new programs!
Spring 2026 Events

Explore collaborative storytelling by joining a Dungeons & Dragons 5e one-shot adventure inspired by Fairy Tales and the Power of Wonder. Four local dungeon masters will each run a different game to choose from. Should you accept this quest, you will complete a full D&D game in one sitting.
Dice and snacks will be provided, and dungeon masters will be bringing pre-made character sheets. Whether this will be your first adventure or your fiftieth, all are welcome!
Board games, solo role-playing games, and card games will also be available in the gallery.
This program is free but registration is required. Register here.

You are invited to this weekly hybrid workshop to learn about a work of art and then participate in a related mindfulness practice. This powerful, guided meditation can undo stress, soothe the nervous system, and help you feel relaxed and revitalized. Meditations are open to students, faculty, staff, and the public. All are welcome and there is no need for past experience with meditation.
Virtual Activities
We’ll be sharing artworks from our collection so that you can do some close-looking exercises from wherever you are. Grab a friend and do it together to spark conversation or do it by yourself for some relaxation.
Here are some coloring pages, created by our very own Elizabeth van der Marck-Gregg, for you to download and color anywhere!
