There’s something about being in the mountains and Aspen specifically, that seems to unlock a higher creative spirit. Between the artists, non-profits, businesses and the galleries of Aspen - there seems to be more room for the creativity community to thrive and think bigger than ever before. Our panel will dive into some of the Roaring Fork Valley’s boldest creative initiatives featuring Donna Isham (represented by Varvara Rosa Gallery and former Anderson Ranch artist-in-residence); Fourth-Generation Coloradoan and digital artist, Topher Straus (represented by bG Gallery); and more visionary panelist who will contribute to this Aspen Educational Series discussion.
This discussion is part of the Intersect Educational Series at Intersect Aspen Art + Design 2025.
Open to all Intersect Aspen ticket holders. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP, as seating is limited.
