The Young Artist Scholarships program offers travel, new
experiences and opportunities to advance artistic skills
among teens who might otherwise miss the chance to
stay and study at the Ranch. Some flew on an airplane for
the first time; others caught their first sights of the Rocky
Mountains. All of last year’s participants thoroughly
enjoyed the program and look forward to expanding their
artistic visions.

Fourth of July Parade
“Blast into Creativity with Anderson Ranch” was launched at last summer’s Fourth of July Parade in Aspen. A giant
rocket ship crafted in plywood, cellophane and lots of red and blue paint was surrounded by wild plumes of foam
smoke and cardboard fire shimmering in glitter. Students 7 to 10 years old walked alongside their masterpiece dressed
as green aliens in face paint, homemade tie-dyed shirts and giant eyeball head-pieces. The Ranch won “Best Children’s
Float” for the third year in a row. The perfect ending to a perfect day!

Annual Report / 2012

Last summer, The Neuman Family Foundation generously
funded scholarships for selected juniors and seniors
from three different high schools—Yampah High School,
Glenwood Springs, Colo., The Denver School of the
Arts, Colo., and Chicago High School for the Arts, Ill.,—
to participate in a weeklong workshop of their choice.
Housing and meals were included in the scholarship.
