Aspen Art Museum: Hidden Gem

Posted on | October 7, 2009 |

In our quest to read every single page of the internet, we recently stumbled upon the homepage for the Aspen Art Museum. Wow! That fresh mountain air must be great for contemplating contemporary art. We were pleasantly surprised with the caliber of their exhibitions and their refined modern aesthetic. We were also immediately transfixed with the flash loop on their front page. The graphic above is actually a promotional graphic from an exhibition in 2008 entitled ARAC@AAM: Anderson Ranch at the Aspen Art Museum which can be viewed here and here. From their website, here’s their mission:

“The Aspen Art Museum is a non-collecting institution that presents the newest, most important evolutions in international contemporary art. Our innovative and timely exhibitions, education and public programs, immersive activities, and community happenings actively engage audiences in thought-provoking experiences of art, culture, and society.”

The identity for the Aspen Art Museum was designed by Jared and Rachel Rippy of You and Me, a small design company from Denver, CO which specializes in design for cultural companies, non-profits, and individuals invested in the arts. Their body of work is impressive and definitely worth checking out.
