Teen Council meetings happen every other Tuesday from August to May. Through this program led by AAM Educator, Elisabeth Strunk, local teenagers create and implement events for their peers. The Council follows the motto, “For teens, by teens,” to make the Aspen Art Museum a fun place for youth in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Now that the holidays are over, tune in Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. (MT) during the month of January to learn how to make your own thank-you cards! AAM Educator Vanessa Porras will be guiding you through a four-part series in making relief prints using gold leaf.
Teen Artists will meet with and learn from AAM staff, guest artists, and our creative community partners at Anderson Ranch. They will explore and build their art-making skills and present their work to the public in the spring.
Printmaking can sometimes be confusing! We’re here to guide you through it. This Wednesday, as the second part of our series, we’ll be working on transferring our design onto the linoleum printing block and beginning to carve!
The Teen Curators program allows participants to gain insight into different styles of curatorial practice. In this brand-new iteration of what has become a signature AAM highlight for teens, each curator will design their own creative project with support from museum staff.
Join Aspen Art Museum Educator Vanessa Porras and Teen Council member Erica on Zoom for a free, three-session mindfulness and yoga course for teens. The yoga portion is designed for beginners with no prior experience necessary. Sessions held on Sunday, January 17, 24, and 31 from 10–11 a.m. (MT).
The AAM and English in Action are teaming up to present a lighthearted three-part online program specifically designed to get pairs talking about contemporary art. This program begins with a lively overview of current AAM exhibitions with a museum educator and concludes with an interactive Happy Hour.
Pairs are invited to book a visit to the AAM in-person by reserving a time between January 20 and February 2.

So, how do you make a reduction print? This Wednesday we’ll be printing our first and final batch of thank-you cards! A reduction print is the process of using the block to print the first portion of the design and carving it again to finalize it. Want to learn more? Don’t forget to tune in!
We are delighted to kick off our 2021 “How To…” program with curator Cecilia Alemani, director of the 59th Venice Biennale (which has been postponed to summer 2022).

Mullen, Jr. director and chief curator of High Line Art, the public art program presented by the non-profit organization Friends of the High Line in New York City, where she has commissioned and curated projects by over 200 artists since 2012.
