Though known as a ski—and après-ski— destination in the winter, Aspen is also beautiful in the summer, lying in a verdant valley after the rain, and Aspen ArtWeek, hosted by the @aspenartmuseum, launches annually in early August as a seasonal celebration. The week is punctuated with an art auction and gala to benefit the museum (#ArtCrush); art talks, performances and tours; an art fair (Intersect Aspen), more cocktails and some very swanky dinners.⁠ ⁠ This year, Aspen galleries have put on outstanding shows to coincide.
