Staff report
The Aspen Art Museum is producing new student exhibitions through its new Teen Curators program this spring at Glenwood Springs High School and the Rifle Branch Library.
They are curated by Annika Bucchin of Glenwood High and Lily McCann-Klausz of Rifle High.
The shows result from the annual program formerly known as Young Curators of the Roaring Fork, which had been running since 2005, downsized for 2020-21 to two teen curators. It follows the museum’s expansive inaugural Youth Art Expo, which opened in March and showed local student art in the main galleries at the museum for the first time since the new downtown building opened in 2014. The museum also has established a Teen Council and Teen Artists program that, along with the Teen Curators, forms a new Teen Art Corps initiative for the institution.

“This is one of the big things that I look forward to getting to work with a big group and putting on a show, to create something big out of something small,” RHS student and stage manager Karisa Coonds said. “I like having the community come in and enjoy it, especially middle school kids coming to see this, so hopefully the program can continue.”
