NEWS:
Colorado Art Ranch
Colorado Art Ranch is a nomadic arts organization founded on the belief that the arts are an agent for change. We travel to two or more Colorado towns each year to sponsor one-month residencies for visual and literary artists from around the world. During each residency Colorado Art Ranch hosts a public forum to promote conversations on how art, and science intersect with land and social issues.
A Unique Arts Organization
Nomadic. Colorado Art Ranch owns neither land nor buildings. We bring the residencies and Artposia to Colorado towns where housing, studio space, and conference facilities are rented or donated. In 2007 we traveled to Salida and Durango. In 2008 it was Steamboat Springs and Denver.
Interdisciplinary. Every residency mixes literary and visual artists to promote the exchange of ideas. Each Artposium explores how the arts intersect with life and the land from myriad viewpoints.
Boundary-crossing. Because Colorado Art Ranch is nomadic, it connects artists, writers, and supporters from many communities across the state. Because it is interdisciplinary, the Artposium fosters collaboration among artists, writers, scientists, and policy makers.
Community-building. Colorado Art Ranch serves communities across the state, requires artists-in-residence to donate time to the towns that host them, recruits local ambassadors to serve as “Art Buddies” for the visiting artists and draws on local experts for some of the presentations at the Artposia.
For a limited time, donors will receive one or more of these beautiful prints from photographer Michael Mowry. Prints are archival and include white space around them so they are ready to frame. Donations over $1,000 will receive a copy of Susan Tweit's new book, Colorado Scenic Byways, the same book that Governor Ritter gave to Barack Obama. Read more. $75 One print on 6x6 paper - (4x4 art)
