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 in 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.

The AAM tailors special visits and workshops for homeschool families and programs in the Roaring Fork Valley. Each workshop provides an opportunity for parents and children to learn about contemporary art while creating a work of art together as a family. Parents also learn techniques and skills for creating their own art experiences at home. A complimentary brown bag lunch is included following the workshop.

Adam Lerner is the outgoing Mark G. Falcone Director and Chief Animator of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. With a unique approach to museum programming that combines curatorial, education, and artistic production, Lerner has created innovative programs that have been adopted by museums throughout North America and celebrated by leaders in the field as well as the general media.

Kick off the summer with a program designed specifically for our valued veterans, military families, and local first responders. Presented in collaboration with Challenge America.

Beauty can often be found in imperfections if you know how to look! Based on Margaret Kilgallen’s hand-painted artworks, we will create our own beautiful pieces that show our hands in the process of creation. Students will be encouraged to celebrate “mistakes” and turn them into masterpieces using painting, printing, and drawing methods.
