This weekend at Anderson Ranch sparked impactful initiatives around Latino art, education

Anderson Ranch Arts Center fostered a new kind of arts education experience in its studio spaces last weekend. On Saturday, the ranch invited local teachers, administrators and other education professionals from schools throughout the Roaring Fork Valley to participate in the arts center’s first-ever Latinx Arts and Education Workshop. 

The free, day-long workshop was led by the ranch’s two Latinx Visiting Artists, Richard “Ricky” Armendariz and Rafael Fajardo.
