This year, the annual Intersect Aspen fair has tweaked its name and augmented its exhibitor list to reflect the Colorado hub’s growing fervor for design.

The newly christened Intersect Aspen Art and Design Fair welcomes first-timers Todd Merrill Studio, Fernando Mastrangelo Studio, and BDDW, all established purveyors of collectible design from New York. They are among the 26 exhibitors joining the Aspen Ice Garden event, which runs today through August 3.

Those eager to engage with the work of local artists should head straight to the booth of Aspen Collective, the new downtown gallery founded by curator, community leader, and artist D.J. Watkins.

In search of art that captures Aspen’s striking landscape? Meghann Riepenhoff, represented by Jackson Fine Art, will present cameraless photography taken in Aspen and the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley area. Zaria Forman, another artist inspired by the natural world, will present pastels that magnify the complexities of polar ice at Winston Wächter Fine Art.

Now in its 14th year, the fair’s growth has mirrored that of the Aspen artistic community. “Of all the locations of art fairs, Aspen includes some of the most sophisticated and knowledgeable collectors in the world,” says Intersect Art and Design CEO Tim von Gal.
