On March 20, 1986, The Aspen Times announced the launch of a fundraising campaign for Anderson Ranch.

“There are 60 workshops scheduled for the summer of 1986, from June 2 through Aug. 22 in photography, woodworking, clay, painting, drawing, printmaking and children’s classes. Anderson Ranch officials are expecting more than 600 students, and registrations are up over last year’s figure at this time.

“‘Anderson Ranch has grown uniquely, and our appeal is nationwide. … Students and teachers have told us that the Anderson Ranch workshop experience makes a difference,'” Anderson Ranch director Bradley Miller told The Aspen Times.
