If you are a beginning artist, we welcome you to the Ranch with 35 workshops designed specially for you. For beginners to advanced artists, our “Open to All” workshops provide an opportunity to work with students of every level in all of our program areas. For more advanced artists, higher-level workshops will have appeal. The Ranch’s children’s program for kids ages four to teens is creative, fun and educational. If you are not sure which is the right workshop for you, please feel free to contact the Artistic Directors listed on page 3. They are ready and eager to help you find just the right workshop to get started.

Fully committed to making sure that your experience here is outstanding, the Ranch’s professional staff offers support as you learn new tools and techniques, and our state-of-the-art Ranch studios are open 24/7 for your use. Let the rhythm of the Ranch absorb you, with twice-weekly evening guest faculty lectures, and talks by some of the world’s leading contemporary artists in our Featured Artists Series. The Anderson Ranch experience is like no other. You may believe that you are coming here for a summer workshop, but you leave this special community with new friends, new skills and importantly, a new perspective on work and life.
