Aspen Art Museum

Taking inspiration from AAM exhibiting artist Barbara Kasten’s colorful installations and photographs, we extend a special invitation to our community partners at Ascendigo Autism Services and all other families with children on the autism spectrum. Artmaking will be tailored to encourage all art abilities and to celebrate the different ways we see and experience the world. Participants will combine geometric paper shapes and recycled props to create temporary tabletop stage sets. Attendees, please bring mobile devices to photograph the artworks and stage set created!

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.

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.

Roaring Fork Valley artists are invited to join us for a cup of coffee and our second iteration of a brand-new series of weekly Friday afternoon artist gatherings at the AAM.

Using scrap pieces of found materials, like paper and cardboard, and oodles of imagination, we will create 3D landscapes in an egg carton! Create a landscape that you’ve seen and love, or something completely out of this world!
