New Fall Lecture Series
Enjoy a lecture followed by dinner in The Ranch Café!
Anderson Ranch Arts Center is thrilled to launch a new fall lecture series that will run weekly from October 20th through December 6th. The lineup consists of Visiting Artists and Critics from around the country who will be traveling to Snowmass and spending one to three weeks at the Ranch completing projects within their area of expertise and exploring new work in the studios.
The lectures are free, open to the public, and available in person or via livestream. Stick around after the event and join us for dinner! A buffet dinner will be served for $25/person immediately following the lecture. Registration is required for attendance.

Artists of all levels come from across the country and around the world to explore new ideas, hone their art making skills and engage in meaningful dialog at the Ranch. Both an international center and a close community, Anderson Ranch welcomes adults, art students, children and teens―from beginners to the leading artists of our time.

Our artistic studios offer 55,000 square feet of space in which to work, in all eight of the Ranch’s artistic disciplines: Ceramics, Digital Fabrication, Sculpture, Furniture Design & Woodworking, Woodturning, Painting & Drawing, Printmaking, and Photography & New Media.
