Intersect Aspen, the art fair formerly known as ArtAspen, will return to the Aspen Ice Garden Aug. 1-5.
Intersect Aspen, the contemporary art fair formerly known as ArtAspen, will return for an in-person 30-gallery event in the Aspen Ice Garden this August.
Intersect Art and Design, which acquired ArtAspen in April 2020, hosted a virtual version of the fair last summer due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Its first in-person offing will include galleries from 24 cities in the U.S., Europe and Asia with participation by several local galleries and nonprofit arts organizations. The fair will run Aug. 1-5.
Intersect managing director Becca Hoffman said the producers decided to move forward with the in-person event recently as growing vaccination rates and loosening public health restrictions opened a path for in-person events.
