2 Annual Report2025Anderson Ranch Arts Center’s mission is to foster transformative educational experiences and community, embracing traditional and contemporary art making on our vibrant Rocky Mountain campus.
3DEAR FRIENDS OF THE RANCH,2025 was another exciting year of art-making, dialogue, and meaningful celebration of our creative community.Anderson Ranch continues to thrive because of our commitment to artistic rigor, community building, and inclusivity. We attract artists from around the world, spanning those at the top of their careers, like our International Artists Honoree Titus Kaphar, to college and graduate students who have heard about the Ranch from their mentors and educators, to children and teens just discovering their creative voices. This year, we welcomed artists for their first visit, for their tenth year in a row, and one returning after a 40-year hiatus. We are deeply grateful to Rona Citrin, whose passionate leadership as Chair of the Board of Trustees has left a lasting mark on Anderson Ranch. Her dedication spans more than fifteen years and has been transformational in advancing our mission.Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we enjoyed a strong year driven by record attendance and community engagement. It is a reminder that the Ranch is only as strong as the people who sustain it and we are profoundly appreciative of each person who plays a part in this vibrant community.We hope to see you soon,Peter WaandersPresident and Chief Executive OfficerLETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Following the presentations, we opened the floor for a lively Q&A session, where the audience was invited to connect the dots, pose questions, and join the conversation.From speakers who illuminate the obscure with sharp insight to a moderator who artfully draws links between divergent ideas, Thinker Thursday thrives on spontaneity, curiosity, and shared discovery.SIP & SKETCHCommunity artists came together to sip drinks and learn to sketch. They enjoyed a selection of specialty wine while working from a still life with plenty of direction from our incredible artistic staff. The event offered a chance to learn the basic elements of drawing in this fun and creative community gathering.Drawing from life at Sip and Sketch.Where community and creativity meet, Thinker Thursday in action.

As longtime National Council members, they generously sponsored the Summer Series: Featured Artists and Conversations Series and were steadfast supporters of the Ranch Gala. In 2016, Kelli and Allen co-chaired the Ranch’s 50th Anniversary Celebration & Recognition Dinner honoring Eleanore and Domenico De Sole, helping to mark a defining milestone in the organization’s history with their leadership and generosity. Kelli’s warmth, commitment, and belief in the power of the arts were felt throughout the Ranch community. Her absence will be deeply felt, and we remain grateful for the enduring impact of her involvement.IN MEMORIAM

36 Annual Report2025NANA TAKANO WORKSHOP STUDENTOne thing I learned is love for community. I truly felt warm support from my other classmates and realized how important it is to have this special environment to be a stronger artist.ALEXANDRIA MARTINEZ WORKSHOP STUDENTAs a teacher and artist I was able to learn from master ceramists about decorating 3D form. The confidence I gained in my technical abilities and creativity will fuel me for years to come.PARENT OF CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTMy daughter came home almost every day excited about new friends she met—some with limited verbal skills, others who spoke different languages. She shared how they laughed, played, and created art together in so many ways. Anderson Ranch is truly unique—a space where art becomes our common language, where every voice is valued, regardless of volume or language, and respect runs deep. These connections reflect the Ranch’s true commitment to diversity and inclusion. I hold dear the experiences my child shared and look forward to returning. KAYLEE GARTINOWORKSHOP STUDENTParticipating in this program has given me the opportunity to network with artists from all over the world. I’ve met a couple of people who are interested in purchasing work from me! I believe attending this program has put me on a path of greatness. I am beyond grateful for this experience! It has pushed my practice in ways I did not expect. From the instructor, Lyle, to the peers in the class - I feel beyond enriched.SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTThis scholarship was everything. Without it I would have never been able to afford to come here at all. I wanted to explore my love for print making and now I see it as something I would like to pursue as a career.TESTIMONIALS
