Philanthropists Kimberly Paige Bluhm and Donna Slade hosted a Friendship Luncheon in Aspen, Colorado at Casa Tua. “The idea was to slow down and recognize how important friendships are,” said Kimberly. “We wanted to uplift these women and to remember how fortunate we are to have each other.” Topics of conversation over the Branzino included the Aspen Art Museum’s ArtCrush Gala chaired by Jamie Tisch.
This year’s theme was “Disco in the Woods,” with an auction featuring works by Chase Hall, Peter Halley, Spencer Lewis, and the Haas Brothers. The event honored Nairy Baghramian. Kimberly sits on the Museum’s National Council and is an avid supporter of the arts, as is her real estate and casino magnate husband, billionaire Neil Bluhm. aspenartmuseum.org. Donna also talked up Jazz Aspen Snowmass’s Festival which will feature performances by the Foo Fighters, Billy Idol, The Lumineers, and James Bay. The festival takes place over Labor Day weekend and opens on September 1st. jazzaspensnowmass.org
