In September 2026, the Clyfford Still Museum announced its plans to transform the building across the street at 1247 Bannock Street into a multi-use gathering space for Museum programs and events. The Museum began working with Maria Cole of Studio Cole, who is leading the design work, to secure permits.
Once approved, the team will begin renovating the building into a flexible, multi-use gathering place, connected to but distinct from the Museum, to help the Still meet the growing demand for its programs. When the building opens in 2027, the Still team will experiment with, pilot, and scale programs to meet rising interest in its offerings. The space will enable the Museum to deepen community relationships, offering a place where people gather, explore, and connect. The space will help the Museum expand its reach and generate the resources needed for innovation and growth through public programs and private event rentals.
The building will also serve as a dedicated site for the Institute Residential Fellowship Program, giving fellows a home to collaborate, design and implement programs, and deepen their research.
The space also adds to the growing vibrancy of Denver’s Golden Triangle Creative District and deepens the Museum’s commitment to the neighborhood.
The Clyfford Still Museum Foundation purchased 1247 Bannock in 2018, and Cap City Tavern rented the space until July 2025.
