Gallery tips for Aspen

How the regulars do Aspen's galleries:

• The bookshop corner is curated at Baldwin Gallery. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Bring a curious friend at Galerie Maximillian. Art is better with someone to argue with about it. The disagreement is the point.
• Small galleries take risks. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
• Check for artist talks. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Aspen — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Aspen can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 13, or a art gallery we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 13 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
