The 2025 Aspen Art Fair returns to the Hotel Jerome for its second edition, running through August 2, with over 40 exhibitors from more than 15 countries. The fair has more than doubled in size from its inaugural year, now featuring 44 galleries, curated projects, conversations, and cultural programming. Highlights include a solo exhibition by Marc Dennis at Harper’s, featuring works inspired by the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, and Marjorie Strider’s Pop Art relief paintings at Galerie Gmurzynska. The fair is part of Aspen Art Week, which also includes the Aspen Art Museum’s ArtCrush Gala and Auction, Anderson Ranch Arts Center conversations, and public art projects.
This matters because Aspen has one of the highest concentrations of art collectors per capita globally, making it a strategic location for a growing art fair. The event’s rapid expansion—from a boutique hotel-room fair in 2024 to a major international gathering in 2025—reflects the city’s deep cultural engagement and the increasing demand for high-caliber programming in non-traditional art hubs. The fair also strengthens Aspen’s identity as a year-round arts destination, supporting local galleries and attracting global visitors.
