Museum of Contemporary Art brings back Black Sheep Fridays

The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, 1485 Delgany, brings back Black Sheep Fridays, a program that merges unadulterated eccentricity with cocktails and world-class art.

Every Friday this winter, museumgoers can experience a wide range of topical events including “Extra-Terrariums,” in which patrons make alien-inspired terrariums with some help from local Ironwood, or “Black Sheep Pi Day (Eve)” where visitors play irrational parlor games with pi and pie.

Black Sheep Fridays create an atmosphere of sophisticated nonsense, a place where patrons can experience something completely out of the ordinary before stepping back into the museum’s galleries.

“This year we were fortunate to have the startling and wonderful mind of Mark Mothersbaugh from which to draw inspiration,” said Carina Buchwald, MCA Denver’s café manager, who also curates the program. “Since museum admission is just five dollars after 5 p.m. on Fridays, Black Sheep Fridays is a great way to experience first the exhibition Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia and then something completely different.”

Black Sheep Fridays runs weekly from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 23 through March 7 in the MCA Café. For a complete program schedule, go to www.mcadenver.org.
