Participants get to know one another better through engagement with exhibitions. Families are encouraged to communicate, reflect, and produce as artists together.

This after-school program for kids in grades K–4 is held weekly at the Aspen Art Museum. Taking place most Wednesdays from 2:30–4 PM, 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.

This year’s “I Don’t Get It,” led by AAM Nancy
 and Bob Magoon CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman, is an interactive, open-forum tour of Ryan Gander’s exhibition Make every show like it’s your last. The tour is followed by a complimentary sampling of soup served up in the museum’s café, SO. Presented as part of the Wintersköl™ festival.

The Aspen Art Museum tailors special visits and workshops for homeschool families and programs in the Roaring Fork Valley. Each workshop provides an opportunity for parents and children to learn about contemporary art while creating a work of art together as a family. Parents also learn techniques and skills for creating their own art experiences at home.
