When it's quieter

“Art Incorporated is an adaptive arts program designed for people with disabilities and/or diverse support needs.” “Each session will begin with a private, sensory-friendly, gallery tour, followed by an art-making activity led by our team and qualified special educators.”

“We are able to accommodate visitors with special needs to the best of our ability with advance arrangements through our Education Department.”

  • Art Incorporated runs on the first Monday of each month, the day the galleries are closed to the public, so the tour is private. The next two are Nov 2 and Dec 7.
  • For a regular visit with extra support, email education@aspenartmuseum.org ahead of time and tell them what helps your kid.
