This is one time you’ll have to stay inside the lines. The Denver Art Museum is taking a stab at getting into Guinness World Records for making the world’s longest painting by numbers. You can dab a bit at the painting under a tent west of the Hamilton Building. Once you’ve done your part, hang around on Martin Plaza to take in some live music, practice giant calligraphy or get an airbrush tattoo.
