      Active Art

      Active Art is a monthly program that provides older adults in the Roaring Fork Valley seasonal opportunities to access and engage with contemporary art and the wider community through art appreciation classes, museum tours, art-making activities, and collaborations. Active Art takes place in seasonal cycles over three sessions, culminating this season at the Young Curators of the Roaring Fork exhibition opening.

    • After participants developed the exhibition theme “raw,” YCRF interns led a call for submissions and assembled an exhibition of their peers’ artworks. An opening and reception is held to celebrate this student-driven initiative.

      The Young Curators of the Roaring Fork exhibition runs from March 15–29.
