Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Education, Visual Arts
Mission: Anderson ranch arts center (the ranch) is a learning community dedicated to creativity and growth through the making and understanding of the visual arts located on five scenic acres in snowmass village, near aspen, colorado. We promote personal and professional development of artists of all levels of expertise through year-round workshops in ceramics, sculpture, photography, new media, painting and drawing, printmaking, woodworking, furniture design and more. Our artists' residencies for emerging and established artists, summer internships, visiting artists and critics, community outreach, and public events offer a full spectrum of opportunities to creative people of all levels. The facilities feature fully-equipped art studios and galleries. The ranch's programs and activities, including art auctions and artist slide lectures attract thousands of artists, art-lovers, students, faculty and patrons annually to this historic rocky mountain ranch dedicated to the fine arts.
Programs: Workshops - we offer over 150 workshops to a wide range of students, all taught by well-known artists. We offer scholarship assistance to roughly 20% of our students. Our workshops are distinguished by accessibility and diversity, and we offer workshops in ceramics, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photo, digital media, and woodworking.
services - we provide a dormitory, a cafe, and an art supplies store for our students. We also supply food and housing for our visiting faculty. In addition, we provide an art gallery for our students and faculty to show their artwork.
residency - the ranch is committed to changing lives through art and serving the greater community in the roaring fork valley where we are located. While there are a variety of public programs that take place onsite, the ranch makes an effort to extend its reach beyond the borders of our campus from aspen to glenwood springs and beyond. The purpose of the ranch's outreach program is to serve the local geographic community of artists and non-artists through accessible, sustained programming and area partnerships structured to meet the needs of the roaring fork valley using the visual arts.
