Aspen Art Museum

High school sophomores and juniors from across the Roaring Fork Valley are invited to prepare for the college admission process through an afternoon of professional mentoring at the AAM. This event is co-hosted with teachers from local high schools and museum staff who will provide support in writing personal statements for all fields of study, and students interested in art in particular can bring artworks for feedback and photo documentation. Transport reimbursement and dinner will be provided.

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

This after-school program for kids in Grades K–4 is held most Wednesdays during the school year at the AAM. Museum educators lead classes that include activities in the gallery and take-home projects.

Limited class size; prior registration strongly encouraged.
