PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROSALIE O'CONNOR PHOTOGRAPHY (DANCERS); TAMARA SUSA (GALLERY) ELEVATED EXHIBITION ArtAspen returns, staging an artful weekend and cross-cultural journey. BY EDAN STANLEY Held in a venue usually reserved for hockey games, the fifth annual ArtAspen (July 31–August 3) turns the ice rink into a sleek gallery space come midsummer. The Aspen Ice Garden will host nearly 2,500 art connoisseurs, and attendees can expect to see exquisite pieces and new national gallerists. Acclaimed exhibiting galleries include Yares Art Projects, Peyton Wright Gallery, Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Duane Reed Gallery, Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery, and dozens more. The event also serves as a charitable endeavor, with opening night (July 31) benefiting the Paepcke Gallery at the Aspen Institute. The four-day festival will feature 30 elite global artists, and nearly all of the exhibiting galleries from 2013 are slated to return. New this year, the fair is collaborating with additional local organizations in an effort to appeal to varying artistic tastes and will auction Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard helmets painted by skiers and contemporary artists. Together with Aspen Film, ArtAspen will hold a special screening of the award-winning documentary Cutie and the Boxer, written and directed by Zachary Heinzerling. Also partnering with the fair for the first time, the Aspen Music Festival and School will be promoting its "Day of Art and Music," directing AMFS concertgoers to venture to the Aspen Ice Garden, too.
