We’ll share videos of curator talks, links to films, art-making projects, online exhibitions and more. Thursdays at the Museum: No program for November 25 Thursdays at the Museum went virtual last year and thanks to many DIA staff and volunteers, a variety of TATM offerings are available from the comfort of home. And if you missed any, whether it is an art talk, studio visit or concert performance, you can watch past TATM programs on the museum's YouTube page any time!
