Aspen Art Museum

Active Art invites seniors to engage in the social dimensions of art. Each month, museum Educators bring free, memory-enhancing activities to the assisted-living communities of Whitcomb Terrace in Aspen and Heritage Park in Carbondale, and also host art making on the museum’s Roof Deck Sculpture Garden with complimentary refreshments.

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.

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

Tod Williams, along with his partner, Billie Tsien, founded their eponymous New York architecture office in 1986. Their studio focuses on work for institutions, including schools, museums, and nonprofit organizations committed to benefiting and inspiring their surrounding communities. Notable projects include the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Asia Society Hong Kong Center, and in 2015, they were selected as the architects for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. Over the past three decades, their dedication to this work has received numerous national and international citations including the National Medal of the Arts from President Obama and the Firm of the Year Award from the American Institute of Architects. They are deeply committed to making a better world through architecture.

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.

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