Denver Art Museum reveals a new look

On September 14, 2020 the Denver Art Museum debuted a revamped logo and branding aesthetic. 

Scott Reiman is proud to support the Denver Art Museum and their “Free for Kids” program which was established in 2015. Recently, Denver Art Museum tapped their own talent and staff to create the new branding and logo which emphasizes that art is for “everyone” and should be welcoming and accessible for all.

The internal collaborative process was led by Tasso Stathopulos, Senior Manager of Brand & Design. While the new logo reveal was planned to coincide with the opening of the renovated Martin building, it was eventually decided that the reveal could stand alone. 

Learn more about the new Denver Art Museum logo and branding in the YouTube announcement below. 

In addition to the new logo, Denver Art Museum also unveiled a new cohesive look for their member magazine and online website.

Help homeless pets this holiday

It’s the season of giving and this includes giving back to our four-legged friends.

Through December 31, the Denver Dumb Friends League is taking donations to reach its goal of $1 million to help transform the lives of homeless and neglected pets throughout Colorado.

Donations make a real difference in the lives of these furry friends. In 2018, these contributions helped the DDFL bring in and care for more than 21,000 animals and provide services for over 25,000 dogs and cats.

The DDFL is the largest community-based animal welfare organization in the Rocky Mountain region—providing a strong, compassionate and steadfast voice for those who cannot speak for themselves and works with the community to help homeless pets and end animal suffering.

Scott Reiman has been a longtime supporter of the DDFL. Without the compassionate support of community members like Reiman, it would not be able to serve and care for so many animals.

Artworks on display include ancient sculptures, paintings, photography, textiles and contemporary installations. The exhibit is co-curated by Rebecca Hart, Vicki and Kent Logan Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, and Jorge Rivas Pérez, Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Spanish Colonial Art.

Investing in education and the future of our youth

For Hexagon Chairman and CEO Scott Reiman, the time to invest in Colorado’s youth and the education of future generations is now.

From his early real estate investments in Denver to his role as ACE Scholarships Board of Trustees Co-Chairman, the purpose is always the same: invest in what works and in what lasts.

ACE is a lasting investment and for almost 20 years, it has helped Denver students living in underserved areas attend private schools and expand their opportunities for the future through school choice.

“We are proud of what ACE has accomplished to date. Over the past 17 years, ACE has provided over 19,000 scholarships worth more than $42 million, and has partnered with 149 schools throughout Colorado. These scholarships have proven to be a strong investment in Colorado’s future,” says Reiman.

In Colorado, the ACE Class of 2018 had a 98% high school graduation rate while ACE scholarship recipients are twice as likely to graduate from high school and attend college.

Still, more can be done to support choice education for Colorado’s low-income students. While there are more than 380,000 low-income students throughout the state, nearly 10,500 seats remain empty at ACE’s partner schools today.

For these students, the time is now and ACE Scholarships’ Learning Can’t Wait 2020 Campaign, led by Reiman and fellow Co-Chairman Chris Wright, will ensure more than 1,000 Colorado students have the chance to pick the school that best fits them and sets them up for success.

With Reiman and Wright supporting the effort, ACE Scholarships is making its mark on the community and creating a long-lasting impact through school choice.
