Eighteen minutes from Aspen and 160 miles west of Denver, the Ranch sits at the head of the Brush Creek Valley, 8,200 feet in elevation. The Ranch is comprised of 14 ranch buildings on five beautifully kept acres. Workshops are held in fully-equipped studios. Students in all disciplines have opportunities to meet together on campus over meals in the café, in the library, in the store and at gallery openings, exhibitions and on-campus events. The studios are designed to encourage access, inspiration and the interchange of ideas. We offer an active public events program consisting of high-quality presentations on visual arts in all of its subject areas. Several times during the week throughout the summer, faculty, visiting artists and Featured Artists share images of their work and discuss their inspira- tions. Workshop participants are encouraged to attend on-campus talks and lectures, which are free and open to the public. Our Patton-Malott and Gartner Galleries showcase works by Anderson Ranch local and Colorado artists, with receptions scheduled throughout the workshop season. COVER iMAGE: Summer Intern Jessica Van Flatteren learns from photographer and photojournalist Ed Kashi. © Rachel DeBoard welcome 1 As we move towards our 50th anniversary in 2016, it is a great pleasure to welcome you to Anderson Ranch, a magical place where we celebrate artists, art making, community and critical dialog. The Ranch is unique in many ways, particularly for the breadth of our offerings. We support visual creativity across all levels and disciplines, from ceramics and painting to woodworking and new media. Whether you take one workshop or several, you will find yourself challenged to experiment, take risks, and learn more about yourself and your innate creativity. Our professional staff is committed to making your experience here meaningful and successful. Every workshop is intended to advance your skills, teach you new techniques and renew your welcome creative spirit. Located in the unparalleled beauty of the Rocky Mountains, our grounds and facilities are first-class. Our workshops feature world-class artists, superb teachers, and classes ranging from basic intros for beginners to advanced critiques for professional artists. A spirit of community pervades every aspect of the Ranch experience, in small classes that explore both general and highly specialized topics. People connect here, often bonding in close, long-lasting relationships. Weekly lectures by significant artists enhance our understanding of a broad range of art making and critical dialog taking place in the world today. This year’s Featured Artists Lecture Series includes Willie Cole, Angel Otero, Diana Thater and Bill Viola, among others. In 2013, we travel the world, with field expeditions to Jamaica, Venice, Costa Rica and Italy’s Cinque Terre. In September, we offer three-week intensive courses in addition to our shorter, summer workshops. Our Kids Camp program for children from preschool to middle school offers some of the most creative and educational classes in the Roaring Fork Valley. So please join us at the Ranch this summer. We promise an extraordinary experience in art making and an incredible journey in self-discovery. If you come once, we guarantee you will want to come back! Barbara J.

Daly. A Special Place with a Unique History What began in Snowmass Village, Colo. as a collection of buildings on a local ranch has evolved into a hotbed of one of the most respected visual arts programs in the country. As working ranches in the Snowmass Village area closed down and the ski industry began to blossom in the 1960s, local resort developers en- visioned an arts and cultural center for the valley and surrounding community and chose the Anderson Ranch property as the location for that venue. Through the efforts of many artists and art supporters, Anderson Ranch Arts Center was established in 1973 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Major changes began in 1979, when resort developers deeded the nearly five-acre parcel of land to the Anderson Ranch Arts Center. With ownership of the property, the Ranch began to invest in facilities, equipment, staff and buildings on its journey to become the valuable re- source that it is today. The old buildings continue to be used, refurbished and transformed, alongside newer facilities such as the studios, workshop spaces and galleries of Anderson Ranch. The oldest building on campus—the Long Studio, a barn constructed in the mid-1800s—houses one of the Ranch’s several ceramics studios. Today, Anderson Ranch conducts approximately 140 summer workshops for 1,000 students each summer. The campus is enlivened with Featured Artists lectures and presentations by workshop faculty and visiting artists several evenings per week. Additional programs include artist residencies, visiting critics, field expeditions and much more. Disciplines have expanded to include ceramics, furniture design, painting and drawing, photography and digital media, printmaking, sculpture, woodworking, woodturning and programs for teens and children. Classes are taught for all levels of experience. Anderson Ranch is known for bringing together eager students, emerging artists, and internationally renowned creators to commune, experience and further their work in a historic setting in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. 6 andersonranch.org 970/923-3181 [email protected] ARt tRiPS Discover new developments in contemporary art on these special expeditions led by Barbara Bloemink, Executive Director.
