Anderson Ranch Arts Center is a non-profit arts organization founded in 1966 and located in Snowmass Village, Colorado.[1][2] The center hosts an artist residency program and summer workshops in the months of June, July, August, September and a January workshop intensive.[3][4] The campus is five acres in size with working studio space in historic buildings for ceramics, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, sculpture, furniture making and woodworking as well as a digital fabrication lab, library, café, gallery and a lecture hall.[5] The Ranch invites visiting artists, critics and curators year-round.

Anderson Ranch hosts many public events throughout the year, such as the Summer Series: Featured Artists & Conversations, Lunchtime Auctionettes, Guest Faculty Lectures, the Annual Art Auction and Recognition Dinner, as well as indoor and outdoor exhibitions. The nearby Aspen Art Museum and Aspen Institute forms a trio with Anderson Ranch of significant arts institutions in the Roaring Fork Valley.[6]

The ceramics program has a long artistic connection with the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and the furniture and woodworking program has a similar creative history with San Diego State University. Past summer faculty have included Mickalene Thomas, Catherine Opie, Judy Pfaff, among many others.[7]

History

Located in the Rocky Mountains, just 8 miles west of Aspen, Colorado, the art center was formerly a working ranch settled by Swedish immigrants in the late 19th century.[1] Hildur Hoaglund Anderson, born in 1907 in Aspen, was the youngest child of the family that built and lived in the current campus buildings.[15] Anderson Ranch became an artists’ community in 1966 when it was founded by ceramic artist Paul Soldner.[16][2][17][18] Other early artists involved were Dennis Hopper, Sally Mann, Daniel Rhodes, Jim Romberg, Toshiko Takaezu, James Surls, and Charmaine Locke.[19][20] The center became a non-profit in 1973 and started offering an artist residency program in 1985.[17]
