Aspen has long been a playground for food lovers, skiers, and the global donor class—but increasingly, it’s become a serious destination for contemporary art. The second edition of the Aspen Art Fair returns to the historic Hotel Jerome from July 29 to August 2, marking the launch of Aspen Art Week and a notable expansion of the fair itself.
In its inaugural year, the fair hosted just 21 exhibitors. This year, that number has more than doubled, with 44 galleries from over 15 countries, including 25 newcomers and 19 returning participants.
Big-name New York galleries like Sean Kelly and Marianne Boesky join a roster that includes Praise Shadows (Brookline, MA), Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles and New York), the Sunday Painter (London), La Loma Projects (LA), and 193 Gallery (Paris and Venice). Programming highlights include talks with artists like Mickalene Thomas and Issy Wood, curated home tours, and a site-specific exhibition inspired by A Room of One’s Own.
