The pandemic provided inspiration for Anderson Ranch Art Center’s outdoor exhibition “Sculpturally Distanced,” which featured 17 works of art scattered throughout the Snowmass Village campus this summer. As part of the art institution’s newest outdoor exhibition, six Roaring Fork Valley artists decorated trees around the facility for an artful take on more traditional holiday aesthetics.
“Anything that we can do outside with visitors where we can be safe and distanced we’re going to do,” said Anderson Ranch’s Studio Coordinator of Sculpture Zakriya Rabani of the impetus for the project. “In the call we put out to artists, we mentioned that it doesn’t have to be holiday themed, it was just a chance for them to come out and decorate a tree. We chose those words strategically.”
