The Aspen Art Museum (AAM) held its annual ArtCrush gala—raising over $2.8 million to benefit the museum’s impressive educational and curatorial programming throughout the year. This year’s event was inspired by Lawrence Weiner’s donated artwork and Colorado’s hot air balloon culture; the artist was honored with the 2017 Aspen Award for Art. Guests enjoyed the evening's ArtCrush Live and Silent Auction, followed by a night of music and dancing for AfterPartyCrush, held at Aspen’s Belly Up nightclub.
