Wednesdays at 7pm, Jul 13 – Aug 17
Your favorite off-beat lecture series is back this summer in a new-ish location with two ways to tune in!
This year Mixed Taste, presented in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, will be at MCA’s new performance and programming space, the Holiday Theater! Join in person at the Holiday Theater or stream the events live online.
Mixed Taste is a long-running, beloved program where even the most mismatched subjects find unexpected common ground in an interactive lecture series that can go pretty much anywhere. Two speakers get twenty minutes each to enlighten participants on unrelated topics, without making any connections to the other. It is only as participants begin to ask questions that these talented, sometimes hilarious, occasionally wild speakers start to take our highly engaged audience on an adventure of words with twists and turns that eventually bring the two subjects together in extraordinary ways.
How to Experience
Option 1: Attend in person at MCA Denver’s Holiday Theater
Tickets are $20 per event
Get tickets to that one event that strikes your fancy or all six!
Option 2: Stream live
Digital season passes are $30 to stream all six events live
Tune in from your bed, your patio, your kitchen! A streaming link will be sent to ticket buyers via email 24 hours prior to the event. A final reminder with the link will also be sent at 6PM the day of each event, one hour prior to the 7PM start. Virtual attendees will be able to participate in the Q&A portion of the event via chat.
If you are watching online, please consider the number of people that may stream this project with you.
