Anderson Ranch Arts Center announces 2023 Recognition Week Live Auction Preview

The Recognition Week Live Auction Preview will be on display and open to the public in the Anderson Ranch Arts Center Patton-Malott Gallery from June 19-July 12. This year's auction is a celebration of contemporary ceramic artwork. The auction will focus on ceramics only, paying tribute to Anderson Ranch's historical foundation of ceramic art while celebrating a new generation of contemporary ceramic artists. All of the artists and galleries have generously donated their work to support the fundraising goals of Anderson Ranch Arts Center. The collection will feature the work of acclaimed artists including:

"Ceramics are one of the most prominent and creative mediums of contemporary artists of our time" shared Philae Knight, senior client advisory director at Phillips and chair of the Anderson Ranch Auction Committee. "We chose to focus on ceramics in this year's auction to celebrate its essential history at the core of Anderson Ranch's artistic experiences. Embedded in this highly-curated selection of works are narratives connecting ancient and contemporary techniques and aesthetics, alongside current themes of identity and environment, to name a few. We are absolutely thrilled by the generosity of these artists and their support for the work being done at Anderson Ranch."

These works will be sold during the live auction on Thursday, July 13, at the annual Recognition Dinner. Proceeds from the auction will support emerging artists with scholarship aid and access to career-enhancing faculty and facilities.

Bidding will be available to all those attending the Recognition Dinner and to a global audience via absentee or telephone bidding. Contact Artistic Programs Manager Meriwether McClorey at 248.854.7526 or email [email protected] for more information about the auction process.

Snowmass Rodeo is coming up

The Snowmass Rodeo celebrates 49 years of operations this summer.

This long-standing Western tradition is a Snowmass summer staple, complete with music, cowboys and cowgirls, horses, livestock, and family fun.

Spend Wednesday night all summer at The Snowmass Rodeo takes place rain or shine.

The main event begins at 7 p.m., but when the doors open at 5 p.m., so does the fun. Head in early for the petting zoo, mechanical bull rides, shopping and dinner. If your kiddo is up to the challenge of Mutton Bustin’, be sure to sign up at 5:30 p.m.

Due to the increased parking restrictions, no parking will be allowed on any of the roadway shoulders near the event.

Rodeo guests are encouraged to use public transportation from the Brush Creek Park & Ride and the Base Village Parking Garage. Parking is limited this summer at the Rodeo Lot and in the gravel lot at Black Saddle. Overflow parking is available at the Two Creeks Parking Lot, as well as at Anderson Ranch Arts Center/Snowmass Chapel. Free shuttles are available on a loop to the Rodeo Grounds from these lots.

If you are staying in Snowmass, your lodging may provide a ride to and from the rodeo.
