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.[7][2][8][9] Other early artists involved were Daniel Rhodes, Jim Romberg, Toshiko Takahaezu, James Surls, and Charmaine Locke.[10][11] The center became a nonprofit in 1973 and started offering an artist residency program in 1985.[8]
