Intersect Art and Design was launched in April 2020 by brothers Tim and Dirk von Gal, and the organization umbrellas three fairs, including Intersect Aspen, Intersect Palm Springs, and Sculpture Objects Functional Art (SOFA) in Chicago. Intersect Aspen is an annual art and culture event, presenting an art and design fair each summer.

Returning to town for its second in-person iteration, Intersect Aspen 2022 brings together 31 galleries from 21 cities to the core of Aspen's art scene. The art fair kicks off Sunday, July 31, and will run through August 4 at the Aspen Ice Garden. Many of the exhibitors are bringing new works to be presented for the first time at Intersect Aspen, some of which were created specifically for the art fair, as Becca Hoffman, the managing director for Intersect Art and Design, explained.

Although the last edition of the art fair was planned for only three months and was considered more of a pop-up, this year's edition has been an in-depth planning process.

Throughout the fair, seven different artist booth talks will be held on-site at the Aspen Ice Garden. Each artist talk is held at the booth where the presenting artist's work is displayed.
