This series of compelling conversations with renowned contemporary artists, critics, and cultural leaders kicks off on July 9th during the Ranch’s highly anticipated Ranch Week in celebration of the Ranch’s 2025 International Artist Honoree Titus Kaphar.

Special Thanks
Sarah Harrelson
Summer Series Creative Director
For a second year, Sarah Harrelson has worked with Anderson Ranch staff and trustees to advise on speakers and moderators for five lectures to be held in the summer of 2025. Sarah’s vast experience in the art world as the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of CULTURED Magazine ensures topical focus, relevance, excitement and artistic excellence across these Ranch programs. In addition, Sarah has deep ties to the Ranch having served as a former Board of Trustee and National Council member.
“This year, I could not be happier to return to Anderson Ranch for a new set of dialogues that I hope will bridge generational connections between emerging talents and artistic powerhouses and foster engagement between artists and creatives outside of the art world. There is no one more aligned with this shared mission than the incredible Titus Kaphar, 2025 International Honoree. It is our great honor to recognize his work and the work of the esteemed artists featured in this year’s series.”– Sarah Harrelson
