“Anderson Ranch is where the world’s greatest artists go to expand their practice by learning new skills. It’s an inviting, generous, no pressure environment that encourages experimentation and risk taking.” – Dennis Scholl 2014 Conversations Series 2014 Service to the Arts Award Honoree “The classes that Anderson Ranch provides are powerful. It was an amazing gift to be able to look at, discuss and create art for two weeks. This experience fueled my soul. It will fuel my ceramic work throughout the year. I am excited to get in the studio to continue the ideas. I am also going to start a ceramic club at the middle school where I teach.” “My education is never over, Anderson Ranch continues to inspire and teach me.” – Takashi Nakazato Visiting Artist – 2014 Scholarship Recipient “We love attending the Ranch’s Annual Art Auction because we are just starting to build a collection and have found the Ranch provides a great selection of emerging artists for a wonderful value. It’s also a fun family atmosphere, so we bring our little one and make a day of it.” – Erik Berg Portfolio Aspen Properties “The Ranch has been such an important place in my own artistic development and to many of my students; I’m honored to be able to help support it in any way!” – Rhonda Willers, Artist the Anderson Ranch experience AndersonRanch arts center 39
