MCA DENVER's Open Shelf Program is the focus of the Library. Through this program, artists reveal the sources from which they draw creative concepts. Each exhibiting artist is invited to create a shelf with objects, books, music or anything that inspires their work. The Open Shelf Program thus becomes a unique living archive that reflects the Museum’s mission as a non-collecting, truly contemporary presenter of visual culture in the making. This space also contains three computers for expanded research into artists, galleries, museums, art fairs, and creative spaces world-wide.
