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.

Veit Laurent Kurz, the architect of Winterfest: An Exhibition of Arts and Crafts, will be in conversation with the exhibition’s curator Saim Demircan. Together, they will elaborate on their collaborative process and discuss the history of experimental and organic architecture that has influenced Veit Laurent Kurz’s practice. They will also provide special insight into individual works included in Winterfest and touch on the intersection of art and design in Aspen.
