Intersect Aspen Art + Design Fair in town again for the 15th time

Intersect Aspen Art + Design Fair will celebrate its fifteenth year in Aspen from July 29 to Aug. 3, according to a press release. This milestone edition will feature a record number of nearly 40 galleries, extended fair dates, and enriched programming.

Intersect Aspen Art + Design Fair — an integral pillar of Aspen’s increasingly vibrant ArtWeek — continues to grow and will present the work from national and international galleries, according to the press release. Intersect Aspen fosters a dynamic convergence between distinguished artists, galleries, curators, collectors, and visionaries from across the globe and the local art community. 

Encompassing an expansive 16,000 square feet, Intersect Aspen transforms the Aspen Ice Garden into Aspen’s largest cultural canvas, providing an unparalleled gallery experience offering fair visitors an immersive journey through art and culture, according to the press release. Programming and events are intended to delve deeper into the artwork of the more than 100 revered artists whose work will be unveiled at the 2025 fair.

“Success truly breeds success,” says Tim von Gal, CEO, Intersect Art + Design, in the press release. “The overwhelming response we received from the art community last year has propelled Intersect Aspen to this unparalleled presentation of galleries, artists, works, cultural partners, media partners and a record setting pre-registration of collectors. We could not be more excited about this year’s edition.”

A couple highlights include:

— Aspen’s 212GALLERY will make its debut at Intersect Aspen 2025, presenting a focused exhibition of work by Shepard Fairey — one of the world’s most influential and provocative contemporary artists. With a career spanning nearly 35 years, Fairey’s work bridges fine art, street culture, and social discourse. He is perhaps best known for his iconic “HOPE” portrait, now part of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery collection.

— Jackson Fine Art will be presenting the work of Michael Stipe, the multifaceted artist, producer, and singer/songwriter for the first time at Intersect Aspen. Best known as the frontman of the legendary band R.E.M., Stipe’s creative legacy extends far beyond music. 

These and many others will be occurring during the fair.
