This monthlong program for kids in grades K–4 is held weekly at the Aspen Art Museum. Taking place after school most Wednesdays from 2:30–4 p.m., these workshops recognize the value of exposing children to the arts at an early age and use the artist’s process as an educational tool. Museum educators and teaching artists lead classes that include activities in the gallery and take-home projects.

Join us on Thursday, November 19, at 6 p.m., for an opening reception for Ryan Gander’s Make every show like it’s your last and the group exhibition A Fragile But Marvelous Life. There is a 5 p.m. members’ walkthrough with AAM Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman.

This season, the AAM’s Movies at the Museum program celebrates the diverse works of director Spike Jonze. Working as a director, producer, screenwriter, and actor across various formats of film and video, Jonze has established a creative range of characters, from pensive to prankster.
