    Young Curators of the Roaring Fork Opening

    Since 2005, the AAM’s Young Curators of the Roaring Fork (YCRF) program has engaged high school students in a six-month program that builds aesthetic valuation, leadership, organizational, and critical-thinking skills. After participants lead a call for submissions, identify a theme, and assemble the exhibition, an opening is held to celebrate this student-driven initiative.
