Exhibition Opening Party
Artists in the Making is an eight-week program that offers middle school students in Aspen and Basalt the opportunity to develop specialized skills driven by self-innovation. Community experts who visit select sessions and mentor students work in tandem with an AAM Educator to create a uniquely tailored experience that concludes with a celebratory showcase for friends and family. Fall theme: Art Inspires Art

The AAM is celebrating the opening of “Zombies: Pay Attention!” (Galleries 4, 5, and 6) and Robert Montgomery’s “The City in Their Echo” (Roof Deck Sculpture Garden) on Thursday, December 20, beginning at 5:30 p.m., with a gallery walkthrough with the AAM Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman! Join us for delicious snacks from SO Café, free wine and beer, a pop-up by the AAM Shop featuring new artist editions, music by GOLDEN, and a complimentary art-making activity for all ages on Level 3.

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.

This winter break, the museum offers six days of concurrent workshops for 4–5 year-olds and 6–10 year-olds to take inspiration from artists on view at the museum. Each day dives into a different creative challenge, winter activities, and a chance to play through art making.

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 in the museum’s Roof Deck Sculpture Garden with complimentary refreshments.
