About Clyfford Still Museum

The Clyfford Still Museum in Denver is a single-artist museum devoted to the life and work of Abstract Expressionist painter Clyfford Still. Opened in November 2011 and housed in a purpose-built Allied Works Architecture building, the Museum stewards the artist’s archive and an internationally significant collection that comprises the vast majority of Still’s lifetime output.

The Museum presents rotating installations drawn from its holdings alongside guest-curated exhibitions and public programs. In recent years CSM has expanded community-facing early-learning programs (notably the Art Crawl infant series), launched a major digital access initiative, and produced guest-curated and community-participatory exhibitions (2024–2026) that broaden access and interpretation of the collection.

Notable achievements

Comprehensive Collection Stewardship

Houses approximately 3,125 works—more than 90% of Clyfford Still’s lifetime output—along with extensive archives of letters, sketchbooks, and related materials, enabling deep, single-artist scholarship and long-term preservation.

Purpose-Built Museum (2011)

Opened a 28,500-square-foot, purpose-built museum (designed by Allied Works Architecture) that physically and interpretively centers Still’s large-scale paintings and archival materials.

Innovative Early Learning Program (Art Crawl)

Developed Art Crawl (launched 2022) — a recurring, research-informed program for infants and caregivers that has been expanded into community sites and offered for licensing to other institutions.
