The Archives for Artists assembly will also introduce the Arthyve archive, a crowd-sourced memory bank comprised of artists’ self-curated time capsules. Artists working in any medium will be invited to donate their images, art, words, sketches, music and more to the artist time capsule project, helping to build an archive of our city’s creative pulse, leaving their mark for future generations. Through this project, you, Denver’s artists, will have the opportunity to decide how you are represented and to share your creative processes and influences by hand picking which materials enter your self-curated time capsule. This act of appraisal and preservation has the power to enrich our collective history with the visual narratives and stories of artists that are often underrepresented. "
