MISSION

Denver Digerati is an artist-first nonprofit dedicated to amplifying experimental media and performance. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive community that embraces creative risk-taking and support for artwork that defies categorization. Our programming includes curated screenings and exhibitions, events, and an artist residency program.

VISION

We are redefining the landscape of contemporary art through interdisciplinary partnerships and advocacy for artists operating outside traditional commercial frameworks. Our vision is high-level curated internal programming while serving as a trusted resource for organizations seeking to showcase experimental artworks, thereby expanding the reach of the artists we champion. We aim to carve out a distinctive niche in the arts landscape by challenging traditional nonprofit structures and maintaining a flexible approach that embraces the unconventional.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY + INCLUSION

Our ethos of inclusivity is to provide myriad opportunities for a diverse community of artists and our constituent participants. We believe that equity is achieved by inclusionary practices throughout our governance, art exhibition, community outreach and education program.
