A person looking at pottery at a crafts bazaar in Aspen titled the "Theatre of the Absolute Elsewhere," 1969. The outdoor exhibition, which featured the works of some 20 craftsmen, was sponsored and organized by Aspen artisan and antique collector Ned Vare. It was located at the corner of Neal and Gibson, and featured displays of ceramics, leather, hand-woven clothing, sketches, and antiques. Vare hoped to make the bazaar a weekly event.
