History

The location was formerly a late 1800s working ranch.[1] Anderson Ranch became an artists’ community in 1966 when it was founded by Paul Soldner.[6][2][7][8] Other early artists involved were Daniel Rhodes, Jim Romberg, Toshiko Takahaezu, James Surls, and Charmaine Locke.[9][10] The center became a nonprofit in 1973 and started offering an artist residency program in 1985.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Anderson Ranch started offering "Innovation Studios", a series of online workshops and classes.[11]
