The Denver Art Museum sets aside three Homeschool Program Days each school year, and the 2026-27 dates are Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, Friday, Jan. 29, 2027 and Monday, March 8, 2027. On those days, museum docents run short pop-up tours in the galleries, and families get a map showing where the tours and hands-on stops are. The pop-up tours are free, and the museum says the day is built for a wide range of ages, so siblings can come along.
Families who want more studio time can add a Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) workshop, a choice-based art session, for $5 per student. The museum books both through its Group Services team.
How to book
- Use the online reservation form on the museum’s Homeschool Program Day page, or call Group Services at 720-913-0088.
- Start times and general admission details for adults were not listed on the program page; confirm when you reserve. Kids are free at DAM every day (see our free museum days guide).
- Denver Art Museum, 100 W. 14th Ave. Pkwy., Denver.
Lesson hooks
- Art and culture: pair a visit with a unit on the artists or regions your kids are studying, and let the TAB workshop turn it into a project.
- Before November: ‘Ink & Thread’ closes Oct. 4 if you want a codices lesson this fall.
