The Aspen Art Fair returns to the historic Hotel Jerome from July 29 to August 1, 2026, gathering more than thirty-five international galleries for its third edition during Aspen Art Week. Founded in 2024 and now led by newly appointed director Kelly Cornell, the boutique fair trades big-booth spectacle for an intimate, hospitality-driven format.
Work is staged throughout the hotel’s rooms and traditional booths — spanning painting, photography, sculpture, installation, design, and works on paper — for an experience built around discovery and conversation. New this year is a dedicated outdoor sculpture area. Exhibitors include Albertz Benda, Friedman Benda, Hesse Flatow, Library Street Collective, Monique Meloche Gallery, Patel Brown, Proyectos Monclova, and R & Company, underscoring the fair’s global reach.

Gallery to watch: R & Company
The New York gallery brings its signature blend of collectible design and contemporary craft, bridging art collectors, designers, and Aspen’s design-minded residential community. Its program — spanning historically important designers and emerging talents — fits the fair’s boutique scale and design-forward sensibility. Visit R & Company.
