Aspen Art Museum

Halloween and Day of the Dead are just days away! Join us Wednesday to learn how to make a sugar skull mask to wear or use as a Halloween decoration!

We are delighted to invite you to our next iteration in our “How To…” series for a behind-the-scenes look at how to buy art during a pandemic with Allan Schwartzman.

Allan Schwartzman has more than twenty years of experience advising some of the world’s most influential and sophisticated collectors. He is widely respected as an independent curator—most notably for the visionary art park Instituto Inhotim set within a 5,000-acre botanical garden in Brazil. Schwartzman was a founding staff member of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City and served as curator from 1977 to 1980. He was a contributing editor of Connoisseur and has written extensively about art for publications including the New Yorker, New York Times, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Artforum, and Art in America.

Registration Required

Roaring Fork Valley artists are invited to join our Friday afternoon artist gathering for coffee and conversation with the 2021 AAM Artist Fellows.

Monthly AAM Artist Coffee sessions are our way of providing a little time and plenty of space to get together with AAM Educators and fellow guests to hear your perspectives on art, studio practice, and topics of interest. We’ll discuss what it means to be an artist, especially during this time of social change, as well as share ideas on art education and how to make it more accessible to our community.

We do what we do because artists make it possible. Please join us in helping shape the dialogue.

Roaring Fork Valley artists are invited to join us for a cup of coffee and our second iteration of a brand-new series of weekly Friday afternoon artist gatherings at the AAM.

Teen Council meetings happen every other Tuesday from August to May. Through this program led by AAM Educator, Elisabeth Strunk, local teenagers create and implement events for their peers. The Council follows the motto, “For teens, by teens,” to make the Aspen Art Museum a fun place for youth in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Join us this Wednesday as we teach you how to decorate the cover of your gratitude journal for November. We will guide you through each step of the process to make your journal uniquely yours!

The Teen Curators program allows participants to gain insight into different styles of curatorial practice. In this brand-new iteration of what has become a signature AAM highlight for teens, each curator will design their own creative project with support from museum staff.

Teen Artists will meet with and learn from AAM staff, guest artists, and our creative community partners at Anderson Ranch. They will explore and build their art-making skills and present their work to the public in the spring.
