“From shared instruments and cold sidewalks to sold-out venues and festival main stages, Brothers of Brass is more than a band, it’s an evolving story of resilience, Black joy, and street-born sound.” 🎺 Brothers of Brass Band

We are so excited to welcome Brothers of Brass Band to the Mall Fest 50 Art Parade on June 27, bringing their powerful, street-born brass sound live to the streets of Aspen!

You still have time to make your costume in our free workshop at Red Brick Center for the Arts on June 25, 5.30 - 7.30 pm. And participate in the contest with prizes now valued up to $1000, so get your look ready!

Rooted in Atlanta’s sidewalks and shaped by the discipline and energy of HBCU marching band tradition, Brothers of Brass has built their story from the ground up — from sharing a single trumpet on cold corners to commanding festival main stages.

She’s an artist. She’s a musician. And she’s bringing both to the Red Brick this June 18.

Aggie Flores is one of the four artists featured in All That is Close, a new exhibition exploring the infinite in everything near us.

📅 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 18 | 5:00–7:00 PM

Alongside artists
Pattie Lee Becker | Joanne Seongweon Lee Joanne Seongweon Lee | Erin Rigney / Modern Coastal

This exhibition explores that nearness. It invites viewers to consider that immensity exists not only in deep space, but also within the intimate and unseen. The participating artists explore realms and landscapes invisible to the naked eye, suggesting that the inner and outer worlds, the visible and invisible, are not separate, but intertwined.

📍 Red Brick Center for the Arts, Aspen

🎟️ Free & open to the public
Exhibition runs through August 1, 2026.

“This project is a great example of how safety improvements can also create opportunities for community connection and artistic expression.” Jack Danneberg, senior project manager.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Bloom, a new pavement mural by Aspen artist chris erickson , is now on view along the S. Galena Street and E. Cooper Avenue corridor through October 31, 2026.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spanning four busy intersections, the mural draws from Aspen’s mountain landscape and the wildflowers that claim its hillsides and peaks as home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For Chris, the flower is more than a motif, it’s a symbol of symmetry, joy, and resilience in an uncertain world. The design pays homage to the blossoms that have chosen this unique region, shaped by intense seasons and extreme weather, as their place to thrive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Bloom is a collaboration between Aspen Public Art and the city’s engineering department, a reminder that safety improvements and creative expression can share the same ground. A beautiful example of what happens when infrastructure and art work together for the community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chris Erickson is an Aspen-based artist known for his use of color in works that blur the line between sculpture and painting, and here, he brings that same eye to the streets beneath your feet.
