Where students learn from expert faculty to
develop their practice and achieve new heights in art making
The Center for Advanced Mentored Studies at Anderson
Ranch is a vital link in the education of emerging artists.
Advanced students gain access to master faculty—top
contemporary artists and educators—over a three-year
period, providing rigorous inquiry and steady direction
for their individual practice. Students gain the critical
levels of knowledge and mentorship necessary to
take the next, important steps of becoming serious
contributors in their chosen fields.
Anderson Ranch offers Advanced Mentored Studies
programs in the fields of Photography, Painting &
Drawing, and Ceramics.
The programs, which include studio work, critical
dialogue and critique, offer artists the opportunity to
expand the scope of their current practice as well as
their ability to develop a critical eye regarding their work.
In addition to weeklong or two-week workshops each
year, participants engage in mid-year portfolio reviews
as well as individual online bi-monthly meetings with
faculty to discuss their ongoing work and progress. At
mid-year, faculty conduct a four-hour online critique
with the entire group.
The Application Deadline is March 1, 2018 and must be

ranch.slideroom.com. All applications will be reviewed
by the program faculty. Notifications to applicants/recip-
ients will be made by March 15, 2018.

Studies are generously underwritten by Bunny &
