The Aspen Art Museum held its annual ArtCrush gala—raising over $2.5 million to benefit the museum's impressive educational and curatorial programming throughout the year. This year's ArtCrush 2016 was held at a new iconic location, Buttermilk Ski Area, internationally known as the marquee location for the annual ESPN Winter X Games and marking a continued collaboration with the AAM's long-time community business partner, Aspen Skiing Company. More than 600 of the world's most distinguished and influential art collectors, artists, gallerists, museum professionals, and business leaders gathered in Aspen to participate in the museum's signature multi-day series of events. The week culminated with Friday evening's ArtCrush Live and Silent Auction—followed by a night of music and dancing for AfterPartyCrush, held at Aspen's Belly Up nightclub.
