Anderson Ranch Arts Center is a non-profit arts organization founded in 1966 and located in Snowmass Village, Colorado.[1][2] They host an artist residency program as well as summer workshops by artists in the months of June, July, August, and September.[3][4] The campus is five acres in size and offers studio space for ceramics, painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, woodworking, and printmaking.[5]

History[edit]

The location was formerly a late 1800s working ranch.[1] Anderson Ranch became an artists’ community in 1966 when it was founded by Paul Soldner.[6][2][7][8] Other early artists involved were Daniel Rhodes, Jim Romberg, Toshiko Takahaezu, James Surls, and Charmaine Locke.[9][10] The center became a nonprofit in 1973 and started offering an artist residency program in 1985.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Anderson Ranch started offering "Innovation Studios", a series of online workshops and classes.[11]
