Aspen Institute Arts Program

About

The Aspen Institute Arts Program was established to support and invigorate the arts in America, and to return the arts to the center of the Aspen Institute's "Great Conversation." Directed by Damian Woetzel, it brings together leading artists, arts managers, sponsors, government officials and patrons to generate, exchange, and develop ideas and policies to encourage vibrancy and dynamism in all artistic realms, and to enrich civic culture in ways only the arts can do.

The Program draws upon the Institute's long-established convening power, and its well-known association with ideas, values and leadership. It responds to needs identified in a survey across the full spectrum of the arts in America for less isolation among arts advocates and directors, and for more communication and exchange of ideas and best practices. It takes advantage of the Institute's fertile nonpartisan and interdisciplinary foundations, and works to integrate arts and artists across the full breadth of the Institute's programs.
