Latine Art Programs
Anderson Ranch Arts Center is proud to share an innovative set of programs that will strengthen services to the regional community through Latine arts and culture offerings.
Courtesy of a significant gift, the Ranch has developed a multi-faceted program with the goal of uniting artists and art enthusiasts around a shared interest in Latine arts and culture.
The programming under this initiative includes:
- Latine Visiting Artists Program: two artists are chosen to work in our studios and engage with our community.
- Educator Workshop: local teachers and community leaders take mini-workshops in our studios with Latine Visiting Artists, and learn how to apply these practices to their own educational spaces.
- Latine Art Curriculum: lesson plans and units have been developed around the life, work, and artistic journey of the Latine Visiting Artists.
- Latine Youth Summer Workshop Scholarships: a program that invites local schools to nominate one current student to participate in an all-expenses-paid summer workshop.
- More outreach programs in our Roaring Fork Valley community!
With this programming in place, we invite all members of our community to participate in and enjoy the shared experiences these gatherings provide.

Gallery Exhibition
Latine Gallery Exhibition: Benjamin Timpson
On Display September 10 to October 20, 2026
Gallery Reception October 8, 2026 5-6PM | Free & Open To The Public
This exhibition brings together butterfly-wing portraits from Benjamin Timpson’s Illuminated Lives with new experiments in glass, resin, and light. The portraits honor lives shaped by resilience and loss, while the newer works expand the inquiry into transparency, fragility, and transformation. Layered materials bend and refract light, suggesting both protection and exposure, and marking a new chapter in an ongoing meditation on memory, survival, and metamorphosis.
