Digital images of designs created for a “Get Out the Vote” campaign sponsored by the professional design association AIGA will be on display in the museum’s lobby throughout August.

AIGA was founded in 1914 as the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

Also on exhibit at the museum: “Focus: the Figure,” modern and contemporary works by Bruce Nauman, Red Grooms and many others.

The museum will offer free admission on Aug. 25 to conventioneers and anyone else interested in visiting that day.

If you miss the convention but you’re planning a trip to Denver later this fall, the museum has a show of paintings by the German artist Daniel Richter opening Sept. 6; an exhibit of sculptures by Jean-Antoine Houdon, on loan from Louvre, opening Oct. 11; and paintings by Ernest Blumenschein, who lived in New Mexico and was known for his paintings of the West, opening Nov. 8.
