Recognition Week Celebration
Thank You For Your Support!
We extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support and participation as we gathered with the shared purpose of upholding the mission of Anderson Ranch Arts Center.
Thanks to your contributions, we exceeded our goals and raised $1,300,000 of critical funds in support of Anderson Ranch! Your contributions have created profound artistic opportunities for so many. You’ve made it possible for us to continue our transformative work to nurture artistic excellence, fostering creative growth, and connecting us all as a community of friends.
The night was filled with memorable moments. The vibrant art demonstrations and cocktail hour alongside the lively conversations with fellow art enthusiasts got us off to a great start. Schermer Meeting Hall was transformed into a beautiful space where the wonderful award presentations by Sarah Arison and Reggie Smith were followed by the heartwarming acceptances from honorees Christian Marclay and Dana Farouki.
Your presence with us on that special night and your unwavering support of the Ranch will leave an indelible mark on the lives of artists and the broader artistic community we serve. We look forward to your continued engagement as we advance in our journey.

Marclay’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries internationally, including one-person presentations at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C.

A pioneering DJ using records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collages, since 1979 Marclay has performed and recorded both solo and in collaboration with many musicians, including John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Otomo Yoshihide, Butch Morris, Shelley Hirsch, Okkyung Lee, Mats Gustafsson, and Lee Ranaldo. His work is in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; the Tate Modern, London; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
