The Denver Art Museum wants you for the Open for Design challenge

A few years ago, there was a lovely temporary museum in town -- Jaime Kopke's Denver Community Museum -- that existed only to engage the community in the act and gestalt of art-making, rather than the usual staring at something hung on the wall of a gallery.
