Special Events
Art and Artist Events
Every year, Anderson Ranch hosts a variety of exciting events that bring the Snowmass and
Aspen communities together, as well as art enthusiasts from around the country, to celebrate
art and art making. These festive and lively events foster an exchange of ideas and inspiration
all while providing exposure to top contemporary artists and local artists working in the Roaring
Fork Valley. Many of these events are free and open to the public and all funds raised at these
events support artistic and educational programs at Anderson Ranch. In 2018, revenue from
special events was more than $1,500,000.
