Aspen Art Museum

This season, the AAM’s Movies at the Museum program highlights the theme “Eye in the Sky.” Over the years, depictions of surveillance have been one of cinema’s go-to methods for creating tension. Exploring the boundaries of privacy, feelings of alienation, and the paranoia of espionage, these films invite viewers to examine their own relationships between private and public.

Free, drop-in spotlight tours led by museum staff are offered every Wednesday and Saturday at 1 p.m.

Drawing on the wealth of Spanish speakers in the Roaring Fork Valley, the museum presents activities for all ages from 4–6 p.m., entirely in Spanish. Featuring guided tours, family art-making activities, and more, this special event is free and open to the public en Español.

Museum educators and teaching artists lead classes that include activities in the gallery and take-home projects.

Classes are limited to fifteen participants. Prior registration is strongly encouraged.
