    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.
    

    The 2018 YCRF exhibition runs from April 14–29, 2018

    Movies at the Museum:
    Tabloid (2010)

    This documentary tells the story of a former Miss Wyoming whose quest for one true love landed her on the pages of tabloid newspapers following charges of abducting a young Mormon Missionary. In director Errol Morris’s words, this movie “is a meditation on how we are shaped by the media and even more powerfully, by ourselves.”
