Aspen Art Museum

June 21–June 25, 9:30 am–12:30 pm

Children ages 6 – 8 years are invited to join us for art adventures at the AAM. In collaboration with Aspen Words and inspired by art and the natural world around us, come ready to create artwork incorporating written word! The week will end with a celebration which includes a poetry slam!

The AAM is incredibly excited to host in-person 2021 Summer Workshops! Through collaboration with many community partners, we will be celebrating the mountains and natural world around us through multiple art disciplines including visual arts, music, film, performance, and so much more!

Due to restrictive numbers and so that everything can be delivered in a safe way, there will be a random selection process for workshops with both members and general applicants. We are holding half of the spots per workshop for our members.

Non-Member Registration Form opens on Wednesday, May 5 and will close on Friday, May 14.

If you are selected, you will be sent an email between May 17 and May 19 with instructions on how to provide payment.
