Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) is a nonprofit environmental organization with three locations in the Roaring Fork Valley: Hallam Lake, Rock Bottom Ranch, and the Catto Center at Toklat.

Since 1968, ACES has inspired a lifelong commitment to the Earth by providing innovative and immersive programming for all ages. Our programs focus on education, regenerative agriculture, forest and ecosystem health, climate, land restoration, and environmental leadership.

ACES contributes to a national agenda for increased environmental awareness. With support for many partner organizations, our programs, reach over 140,000 individuals every year. We teach in local schools daily, lead camps in the summer, and host adult classes. We share the beauty and ecology of our area with locals and visitors through Naturalist-led hikes and field programs for all ages. We also engage our community by hosting public lectures and events. ACES collaborates with land trusts, public agencies, and other nonprofits to achieve our mission. 

In the decades ahead, ACES seeks to cultivate a community of environmental stewards so that children, parents, consumers, decision-makers, and leaders can make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world. 

Mothership NYC (est. 2005) is a multidisciplinary artist collective and live-work residency and presentation space in a former pickles factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn—a proud throwback to New York's avant-garde past and a safe harbor for international creatives. Founded and captained by a painter, Mothership NYC houses a rotating crew of artists across multiple disciplines, including visual art, dance, theater, film, performance, and new media. A self-guided residency, what distinguishes us from insitutional programs is our intimate, homey setting and unique composition: out of a crew of max six residents at any one time, half are NYC-based artists, giving international visitors organic, insider access to the local art scene.

Monthly Mothership Salons are held on the open-air Main Deck or at sister venue Last Frontier NYC: a charismatic warehouse loft inside an industrial complex turned rooftop nature sanctuary. With access to several one-of-a-kind showcases, our events bring together local and international artists, thinkers, and arts professionals & appreciators for informal gatherings that spark new ideas and lasting collaborations. We are serious about creating our own fun!

Salt Road Studio Residency is a fully funded international artist residency located in Akō, Japan, a historic coastal city along the Seto Inland Sea. Designed for contemporary visual artists, the residency provides time, space, and financial support to develop new work while engaging with Japanese culture, community, and landscape.

Each year, only three artists are selected for a three-week residency experience. The program includes round-trip airfare, accommodations, studio space, and a stipend, allowing participants to focus entirely on their creative practice. Artists live and work together in a collaborative environment that encourages experimentation, dialogue, and cross-cultural exchange.

Founded by artist and curator Gina Keatley, Salt Road Studio connects creative communities between Japan and New York City while supporting emerging and established artists from around the world. The residency welcomes painters, sculptors, mixed-media artists, photographers, and interdisciplinary practitioners seeking an immersive international art residency experience.

Through meaningful cultural engagement and dedicated studio time, Salt Road Studio Residency aims to foster artistic growth, global connections, and lasting creative impact.

CASA PIP is a selective residency open to people who work within all fields of filmmaking. Our residents are selected by a jury of film professionals, and selected residents are given a free stay for up to one month in a house in the mountains of central Portugal. Founded by and designed for filmmakers, CASA PIP offers residents peace and space to work independently in any capacity they require, giving residents sole access to the entire house for work periods of up to a month. CASA PIP is an unstructured, no-rules residency. Residents may use the space to write, research, edit, experiment, play, think, or rest, depending on their specific creative needs. Application fee is 35 Euros.

La Manchoza is an artist-led residency located in a rural, off-grid environment in the mountains of Jalisco, Mexico. The program has developed organically through years of hosting artists, writers, and makers in a living and working homestead surrounded by forest and agricultural land.

The residency supports interdisciplinary artistic practice with access to workshops for ceramics, woodworking, bronze casting, painting, and writing, alongside quiet studio and living spaces designed for focused, self-directed work. We host a very small number of residents at a time—typically one artist at a time—while also being open to couples, families with children, and pets, depending on the specific needs of each residency period. This allows for individual attention and a supportive, immersive experience.

Our program is grounded in material exploration, slow making, and a close relationship with landscape and craft traditions. We prioritize a respectful, welcoming environment where artists can develop their work in dialogue with nature and local cultural practices.
