about anderson ranch

At Anderson Ranch, we recognize human beings' lifelong need to develop personal creativity and to discover, learn and grow. We nurture and inspire imaginations of all ages, encouraging experimentation, intensive inquiry and creative production.

Artists come here to:
  • uncover, develop or stretch their creative spirits
  • study with renowned artists and gifted teachers
  • join a supportive community that encourages experimentation and growth
  • create in state-of-the-art facilities in beautiful, rustic surroundings
  • participate in hands-on learning enriched by lectures, exhibitions and critiques
Anderson Ranch is located in Snowmass Village, Colorado, a resort community 160 miles west of Denver.

Anderson Ranch is a place like no other. Artists of all levels and ages come here every summer for the opportunity to uncover, develop and stretch their creative spirits. They come for the faculty of renowned artists and gifted instructors and the supportive community that encourages experimentation and growth. They come for the state-of-the-art facilities and the beautiful and rustic setting. They come for unique hands-on learning opportunities offered in numerous disciplines enriched by slide lectures, exhibitions and critiques. In short, they come because Anderson Ranch Arts Center offers the opportunity to learn, create and become more.

We wish to thank the artists, collectors and galleries who have so generously donated artwork to the annual auction at Anderson Ranch.

Many of the pieces offered were produced at the Ranch or specifically made for this auction, and we are deeply grateful for this tribute.

Thanks also to the volunteers and staff for their energy and dedication to this spectacular celebration of the arts.

Funds raised during this event support the creative and educational programs of Anderson Ranch. We appreciate the participation of all who attend, cast their bids and take home these magnificent works of art.

Enjoy the auction!
