Anderson Ranch Arts Center
5263 Owl Creek Rd., Snowmass Village
Anderson Ranch Arts Center is home to one of the most respected and desirable visual arts programs in North America. The sprawling property—open since 1966—includes studios for artists in residence, a sculpture garden, indoor galleries, and a store packed with collectibles. On the schedule: a revolving roster of visiting artists and critics (past headliners include Steve McQueen and Ai Weiwei). Ceramics and photography are just two of the art mediums running as classes throughout the summer season.
