Big style and big energy! Learn how to create graffiti-style letters and bold artwork using spray paint, stencils, paint, and collage. Customize your own skateboard deck and trucker hat, then hit the dance floor to learn hip hop moves. Finish the week with a super-fun dance performance and art show to show off your art (and your moves!).

Visceral Alchemy celebrates transformation in its most personal and enduring form. This exhibition explores the powerful act of creating—or receiving—artwork that lasts a lifetime. Tattooers are constantly creating. They regularly translate deeply personal ideas into original works of art, blending in their own style and aesthetic. Their process is both collaborative and expressive.

Once a symbol of counterculture, tattooing has evolved into a widely embraced and respected art form. Today, many tattooers are formally trained artists who maintain vibrant creative practices beyond their occupation. This exhibition brings together a group of artists to examine the relationship between their professional and personal art forms. Could one exist without the other? This curated invitational offers a rare glimpse into the fine art dimension of tattooing, inviting viewers to consider the lasting impact of this art form and industry.

The opening reception is Friday, May 29 from 5-7pm. **See the artists in action Saturday, May 30, from 11am-6pm with live tattooing out of The Launchpad (walk-up, first come, first-served, 18+). On display through July, 3. The gallery is open weekdays from 10am-5pm.

El Placer de Leer is a Spanish-language reading and discussion group dedicated to celebrating literature by Hispanic and Latin American authors. Through shared reading and thoughtful conversation, participants explore powerful voices, rich themes, and the cultural depth of literature written in Spanish.

This is not a Spanish language class, but a space for literary discussion and analysis. Participants should feel comfortable reading in Spanish and engaging in conversation at an advanced level.

In the 2026 sessions, the group will read short stories or selected excerpts by modern and contemporary Latin American authors. Angélica Breña will provide specific reading selections and materials ahead of each meeting.

Each session offers a welcoming, enriching environment where participants are encouraged to share insights, exchange perspectives, and enjoy the many interpretations a compelling text can inspire.

El Placer de Leer es un grupo de lectura y discusión en español, dedicado a celebrar la literatura creada por autores hispanos y latinoamericanos. A través de lecturas compartidas y conversación reflexiva, cada participante explora voces imponentes, temas profundos y la minuciosidad cultural de la literatura escrita en español.

Esta no es una clase de español, sino un espacio para discusión y análisis literario. Si participas, es importante que sientas seguridad al leer y conversar en español a un nivel avanzado.

En las sesiones de 2026, el grupo leerá historias cortas o pasajes seleccionados, escritos por autores latinoamericanos. Angélica Breña proporcionará selecciones de lectura y materiales específicos antes de cada reunión.

Cada sesión ofrece un ambiente enriquecedor y de bienvenida, en el que las personas participantes son exhortadas a compartir su percepción, intercambiar perspectivas y disfrutar de las muchas interpretaciones que un texto convincente puede inspirar.

Spend an evening with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) celebrating food, learning, and connection.

Come curious, leave inspired—and bring home both new knowledge and a jar of something delicious.
