The Aspen Art Museum is encouraging young artists from Aspen to Rifle to submit artwork for its new Roaring Fork Youth Art Expo, to run Feb. 27 through March 14.
The student show, open to area K-12 students, marks the first time local student art will hang in the museum’s galleries since its new building opened in 2014 and the first time the museum made an open call for local student art since the Valley Kids Art Show was discontinued in 2005.
Los Angeles-based artist Adam Stamp is organizing the exhibition, titled “Still Lifes and Works from Home.” It will center around artwork created at home and inspired by three thematic prompts for works of varied sizes: something or someone you miss (8.5-by-11 inches); your favorite object or room in your home (11-by-17 inches); and a meal you enjoy eating (18-by-24 inches).
