Spring 2012 Residents

For 10 weeks in the fall and winter/spring, selected
artists come from around the world to take advantage of
the exceptional studio facilities at Anderson Ranch. Our
Artist Residency Program continues to grow and mature
in prominence and stature. In 2013/14, the Ranch will
offer four funded residencies selected by our jury panel.

In 2012, 220 artists from over 15 countries submitted
applications for 28 spots in our residency program. Final artist
candidates were selected from Australia, Canada, Jamaica,
Holland, Japan, Spain, Sweden and the United States.
Our qualified staff encourages artists-in-residence to
make anything they dream or imagine—whether working
in media where they are proficient, or by exploring new
materials and ideas.
The Residency Program provides an opportunity for artistic
dialog in a supportive environment. Our values embrace
ingenuity, innovation, creativity and discovery. By choosing
a balance of artistic experiences and media, last year’s jury
panels selected two amazing groups of residents who
bonded quickly and became part of the Ranch family.
The eminent artists on the spring 2012 jury panel were
Brad Miller, Holly Hughes and Roddy MacInnes. The fall
2012 jury panel included Julia Jacquette, Peter Pinnell
and Amber Frid-Jimenez.
Board member Sara Ransford donated $150,000
towards an artist’s Residency, releasing an equivalent
amount from the Windgate Foundation. By the end of
2013 we plan on raising the additional $100,000 which
will complete the Windga HX]
