"The Way is Not a Way But a Place" by Chloe Wildwerding
This is a solo exhibition by mixed media artist Chloe Wilwerding blends photography, embroidery, and quilting into textile portraits of place. Through references to merit badges and outdoor gear, the show proposes a shift from achievement in nature towards wonder, intimacy, and attention to the landscape.

GEOart Collective: Cracks, Layers, Water
The GEOart Collective is an international consortium of artists who share a love and fascination of nature and the geosciences. Each artist in our group brings a unique set of skills in the world of textile and mixed media. Many of us create our own fabrics, threads and papers through the use of dye, paint and print. Artists in the GEOart Collective have exhibited their work locally, nationally and internationally.

Join us for the opening reception Thursday (yes, Thursday), July 9, from 5:00-7:00pm with an artist talk beginning at 5:30pm. Thank you to Wilderness Workshop for generously sponsoring these exhibitions and for your meaningful work in protecting wilderness, water, and wildlife in Western Colorado!

Join the Basalt Library for an open and welcoming community conversation focused on immigration, its stories, challenges, and impact on our shared lives. In the spirit of a classic speakeasy, this program creates a relaxed, respectful space for dialogue where participants can listen, learn, and exchange perspectives across experiences and viewpoints. Guided by thoughtful facilitation, the evening will center on personal narratives, community questions, and the values that shape how we understand immigration locally and nationally. Through honest conversation and lived experience, panelists will explore how immigration shapes identity, opportunity, and belonging in the Roaring Fork Valley. Designed to foster understanding rather than debate, this evening centers real stories and meaningful dialogue.

Featuring local advocates and leaders Alan Muñoz, Jennifer Smith, and Gaby Lagos.

All are welcome.

Únete a la biblioteca de Basalt para una conversación comunitaria abierta y de bienvenida, enfocada en el tema de inmigración, sus historias, sus desafíos y su impacto en nuestras vidas compartidas. Para hacer honor a un clásico bar clandestino (speakeasy) este programa crea un espacio relajado y respetuoso para el diálogo en el cual cada participante escuchará, aprenderá, e intercambiará perspectivas a través de experiencias y puntos de vista. Dirigida por una facilitación reflexiva, la velada se centra en narrativas personales, interrogantes comunitarias y los valores que dan forma a nuestra comprensión de la inmigración, tanto a nivel local como nacional. Mediante conversaciones honestas y experiencias vividas, cada panelista explorará la manera en que este factor define la identidad, las oportunidades y el sentido de pertenencia en el valle Roaring Fork. Creada para fomentar la comprensión, más que el debate, esta velada se centra en historias reales y un diálogo significativo.

Presentando líderes y activistas locales: Alan Muñoz, Jennifer Smith, y Gaby Lagos.

Todas las personas son bienvenidas.

Sacred Brotherhood Circles are a structured space for men to develop health connection with other men through intentional conversation and embodiment.

Topics vary around four key areas of life: Purpose, Prosperity, Pleasure, and Peace.

Embodiment practices include breathwork, meditation, and functional movement.

Men leave with:
- Sense of relief in knowing you are not alone
- Clarity on an issue or decision you’ve been struggling with
- Tools and frameworks to deal with stress and conflict at work or home
- New friends to talk, bike, hike, etc. with
- Feeling of being more in control of your life. Grounded and inspired.

Intergenerational gathering of men 18+

Get ready to zoom in and make art that shimmers! Have you ever looked closely at a butterfly wing, snake scales, or a dragonfly’s see-through wings? Animals are covered in incredible patterns—and you’ll get to recreate them in your own bold way. You’ll draw, color, paint, and collage using all kinds of paper (even clear cellophane!), plus markers, crayons, glitter, and more. Make spots, stripes, swirls, and scales, then take home a collection of wild, beautiful pattern masterpieces!

Held at Rock Bottom Ranch

The Art of the Harvest is a program where art, agriculture, and imagination come together. You’ll use vegetables from the ranch to create, carve, dye, print, and more. When you aren’t making art using vegetables, you’ll have the opportunity to play a role in our vegetable production.

Registration through ACES (opens February 19). https://aspennature.org/activity/aces-summer-camp-2026/
