A vile display at the Red Brick arts center
Dear Editor:
We just spent again a very delightful time in Aspen. However, I was totally taken aback by a painting (?) in the current exhibition at the Red Brick Center for the Arts, depicting our current president with a sizable penis sticking out and some political statements on the bottom of the painting.
What did the trustees think of when they approved this piece to be hung (pun intended)? The entrance to the building has a warning about “sensitive adult content.” Hooray for political correctness gone astray. I consider the painting simply obscene.
It is a discredit to the office of the president and an insult to the president and the general public and Aspen’s otherwise attractive and active art scene.

Professional dancers return to Aspen to perform in ‘The Nutcracker’
Roaring Fork Valley natives Emily Ridings and Nikki Ferry have come full circle when it comes to dance. Both studied dance with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) as kids, continued their training with other prominent schools, and now return this weekend, as ASFB presents “The Nutcracker” at Aspen District Theater.
