Aspen Art Museum

The Aspen Art Museum is thrilled to offer Dynamic Arts to teens throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. We collaborate with arts organizations within our community to offer students varied modes of art-making experience and exposure to the rich creative culture and history of the Roaring Fork Valley.

Location: Carbondale, CO 81623
Registration required
Free Program
4–5:30 PM

Dynamic Artists will get an inside view into the practice of esteemed artist, James Surls, at his expansive studio in Carbondale. Students will be immersed in the energy and physicality of Surls’ monumental sculptures as they tour the studio and get a firsthand account from the artist of his life as an established, professional sculptor in the Roaring Fork Valley.

We are offering scholarships of $1,000 to participants with a high level of engagement in the program. Scholarships may be used for tuition, travel, or other activities related to future goals. For more information about the program or scholarships, please email education@aspenartmuseum.org.
