Aspen Art Museum

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.

In this three-part course, participants will unpack the contentious questions of authenticity, appropriation, and authority in contemporary art through various case studies and critical approaches.

This session’s topic is “Authenticity” with Heidi Zuckerman.
What does integrity look like? This session explores the complex notion of authenticity, taking a personal and art historical look at stories of success (and failure) in art created with (and without) a clear intention.

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.

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

Join us for Mother’s Day Brunch at the Aspen Art Museum—with bottomless mimosas, art activities for the whole family, and a lavish brunch buffet!

This session’s topic is “Appropriation” with Erich Hatala Matthes, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wellesley College

How can philosophical methods help us understand issues in the arts? This concluding session will provide a unique lens that helps differentiate cultural insiders from outsiders and the fine line between offensive and harmful.

1:30–3 PM & 4:30–7 PM
