Aspen Gay Ski Week was a quiet affair in 2021. Due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, the longest running gay ski gathering in the world moved events into virtual spaces and nixed cultural traditions like the Fashion & Art Night Out.
But this bedrock of Aspen winter and gay pride celebrations – set to mark its 45th anniversary in 2022 – has launched a virtual curated art exhibition and auction that promises to raise funds for LGBTQ causes while celebrating artists in the Aspen Gay Ski Week tradition.
