Our mission is to bring the alternative art and music scene to Truckee and Tahoe, CA

The Aspen Collective was established in July of 2023 by founders and local high school students Eliot Lowe and Leo Murrell. We created the idea for the collective with the intention to provide an exciting and safe space for teens as an alternative outlet to substance abuse. We quickly gained community support, and hosted our first event in August of 2023. Since the success of our first event we hosted five other concerts, and have received generous community support. We are in partnership with Tahoe Forest Hospital, The Speedy Foundation, Gateway Mountain Center, and the Nevada County Arts Council, and we are looking forward to collaborating with other community leaders in the near future. We have a goal to host/partake in 10 events by the end of summer 2025, and we are in progress for hosting Truckee’s first alternative music festival in May of 2025. We are currently working on expanding our outreach and team to local youth in the area, while accessing new network connections and sponsorship opportunities as well. We appreciate your interest and support, thank you!
