For artists, the most powerful creative act may be building the conditions for their work to exist. They must not only nurture their imagination but also build practices that are both sustainable and sovereign. From collective care to enterprise design, creators and advocates explore the structures, strategies and solidarity that make a creative life livable and allow our creative ecosystems to thrive.
The Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 25-July 1, 2026 business and civic leaders, innovators and artists, fellows, scholars, and attendees from around the world gathered in the Rocky Mountains. Engaging discussions unified by the Festival’s theme “Declarations of Independence” explore the issues of today, challenge perceptions of the past, and shape our shared future. #AspenIdeas
