ArtCrush posts usual returns

 The Aspen Art Museum held its annual ArtCrush fundraising event on Friday. The museum netted $2.5 million, and was exactly what was expected, according to Aspen Art Museum CEO Heidi Zuckerman. That number is the same compared to last year’s event.

The event comes just after Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s annual Dancing with the Stars gala. The total amount raised for that annual fundraiser isn’t available yet.

The Aspen Art Museum had revenues of $14 million in the 2013-2014 fiscal year. It was also the first year the fundraiser was held at the base of the Buttermilk Ski Area.
