Learning events

  • Apr 30, 2019

    • The Aspen Art Museum offers after-school workshops for middle school students that develop skills of self-expression, teamwork, and creative art-making techniques using a variety of materials. Participants will work together over several weeks to present an exhibition of their work in the final session.

    • In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Aspen Center of Environmental Studies (ACES), this event will trace the legacy of Stuart Mace and Toklat through a conversation with artist Isa Catto and Mace’s son, Kent Mace. Stuart Mace was a botanist who came to Aspen in 1948 and created an ecological and artistic haven at Toklat, which became a foundational component of ACES.
