Summer Series: Featured Artists and Conversations Presented by Toby Devan Lewis The 2018 Summer Series entertained and informed over 1,500 attendees and featured today’s top artists, critics and collectors, in six programs. Participants included Nora Burnett Abrams, Naomi Beckwith, Bunny and Charles Burson, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Tara Donovan, Edward Felsenthal, Alex Israel, Robert Longo, Vik Muniz, Alexandra Munroe, Renaud Proch and Ai Weiwei. Special thanks to Presenting Sponsor, Toby Devan Lewis, and the National Council Sponsors who provide crucial funding for the Summer Series which allows all programming to remain free and open to the community. The vision, insight and connections of the Art & Artists Advisory Group helped to create an outstanding lineup again this year. While on campus, featured artists sat down in conversation with filmmaker, Dennis Scholl, for the second season of Anderson Ranch’s short film series “Inside My Studio.” These five- to ten- minute films, created for the Anderson Ranch community, artists and makers, provide insights into the nuts and bolts of these leading artists’ studios, tips on how they work and find success and what it means to them to have a good or bad day in their studio. Support for “Inside My Studio” is generously provided by Lynda and Stewart Resnick. Inside My Studio with Diana Al-Hadid 12 2018 Annual Report
