From the beginning, Aspen has been known as a mountainside center for arts and culture. Their motto is that a renewal of mind, body, and spirit can be achieved when all three are engaged. Aspen has always been renowned as the playground of the rich and famous. Although this is not a highlight in their media, it’s no secret.
