This after-school program for middle school students (grades 7–8) is presented in collaboration with the Aspen Youth Center and provides hands-on experience in self-publishing in a collaborative group setting. Over the course of eight sessions, participants make their very own zine, which will be printed by the museum. An open house and application information session will be launched during the Middle School Night on January 20.

Join us on Thursday, February 9th, at 6:30 p.m., for the Opening Reception for Jack Pierson: 5 Shows from the ’90s. There is a 5:30 p.m. members’ walkthrough with AAM Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman.

What can be discovered at the intersection of art, education, and social justice? This two-day retreat for educators who teach K–12 level students in schools and nonprofit organizations will explore how to empower students to make creative solutions in response to the issues that face their communities. This event is hosted with Marit Dewhurst, Director of Art Education at City College of New York and author of Social Justice Art: A Framework for Activist Art Pedagogy.

Monthly drop-in Family Workshops at the AAM are designed to provide children and adults free opportunities to explore the galleries and create works of art on their own. Families are encouraged to communicate, reflect, and produce as artists together.

All Family Workshops are free of charge and are first come, first served for families with children ages 3–10. Workshops begin in the Education Workshop, giving families choices for self-guided or educator-led activities and art-making stations.
