The Aspen Art Fair

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the Aspen Art Fair takes place each summer during Aspen Art Week—an essential moment on the international art calendar that draws artists, curators, gallerists, and collectors from around the world to this storied mountain town.

The third edition, taking place July 29 – August 1, 2026, will be overseen by The Aspen Art Fair Co-founder Bob Chase, owner of Aspen’s Hexton Gallery and a 17-year Aspen resident, together with newly appointed director Kelly Cornell.

Presented at the historic Hotel Jerome, the Aspen Art Fair is an intimate, boutique fair and immersive cultural takeover. International galleries are presented across purpose-built booths and hotel rooms, creating a uniquely social and experiential approach to the art fair format.

The fair has rapidly become a fixture of Aspen Art Week and the global art circuit, welcoming more than 7,000 collectors, curators, artists, and cultural leaders to its first two editions. With over 35 influential international exhibitors and specially curated projects, the Aspen Art Fair offers a refined yet dynamic platform for both established and emerging voices in contemporary art.

The fair is complemented by a robust program of talks, performances, screenings, prizes and residencies, private collection tours, and site-responsive experiences that engage Aspen’s natural landscape and cultural energy. Through collaborations with Aspen’s world-class institutions, the Aspen Art Fair contributes meaningfully to the city’s cultural fabric and is now recognized as a premier destination for contemporary art and culture.
