Location: Aspen Elementary School art room This Spring, Anderson Ranch brings its creative spirit back for Wednesday programming! Students eager to dive into the world of art join us on early-release Wednesdays at the Aspen Elementary School art room for weeks of artistic exploration and growth. They explore color, shape, texture, and composition, expressing themselves through art. This program offers the support and inspiration young artists need to thrive.  Exception Dates: March 4th and April 1st, 2026.

Join for a single day or the whole week! Whiz, Whoosh, Zoom! Art in Action. Get ready to move, make, and imagine! In this high-energy workshop, we explore the exciting world of motion through art. From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks! REGISTRATION: If you are interested in registering for single days, please reach out to Katie Sanders, Artistic Projects Manager, at [email protected] or call 970-924-5089.

Sound the sirens and grab your glue—this week is all about everyday heroes who keep our world safe and strong! In this hands-on, playful workshop, we dive into the colorful world of community helpers through storytelling, movement, and artmaking. We build bright red fire trucks with rolling wheels, collage daring helicopter rescues with painted skies and swirling clouds, and craft shiny police badges from foil, markers, and ribbon. Inspired by snowy slopes, we design wild skis and snowboards with bold shapes and imaginative patterns. Stepping into the wild with a real park ranger, we create magical mini dioramas filled with trees, animals, and ranger cabins. With visits from real-life heroes and a week full of fun surprises, we let our creativity shine as we celebrate the helpers who make our world a better place. Bring your imagination—this week, art comes to the rescue!
