Aspen Art Museum

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.

We talk to Ebony L. Haynes, a writer and curator from Toronto whose focus is on helping to remedy the lack of Black decision-makers in the commercial art world.

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.

Your challenge today is to incorporate something natural! Take a walk outside and gather from your surroundings. You may decide to pick up a small and tender tree branch, lavender stems, or dry leaves—the options are endless!

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.

The AAM Teen Council would like to welcome our next guest speaker, Craig Robins!

Craig Robins is an entrepreneur, real estate developer, and art collector based in Miami, Florida. He also created the Miami Design District! If you want to learn how to build your brand and further your career in the art world, this webinar is a must.

The art world is abuzz with the emergence of “digital collectibles” known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which live on a blockchain. What are they and how to understand them is the topic of our next How To… session with journalist Anny Shaw.
