EXHIBIT OPENING
“Leisure & Legacy: The Timeless Ski Photography of Slim Aarons”
Renowned photographer Slim Aarons built his career capturing the elegance and leisure of mid-20th-century life, famously describing his work as “photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” Aarons also had ties to the Mount Washington Valley, where he was friends with the Carroll Reed family and often visited.
This special exhibit features Slim Aarons’ iconic winter and ski photography, including images taken right here in the Valley.
Known for his simple style—using only natural light and avoiding elaborate setups—Aarons’ photographs have a timeless authenticity and elegance; his images blend ski culture, fashion, and community.
Join us to experience a unique perspective on ski culture and winter life through the lens of one of photography’s greats.
