Anderson Ranch Arts Center held its 2025 gala on July 10 in Snowmass Village, honoring artist Titus Kaphar with the International Artist Award. The evening featured a seated dinner, a gala auction with works donated by galleries including Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, White Cube, and Marianne Boesky Gallery, and drew a crowd of collectors, artists, patrons, and cultural figures such as Peter Waanders, Sarah Harrelson, Jessica Silverman, and Kristina Newman-Scott.
The event underscores Anderson Ranch's role as a vital hub for contemporary art and cultural dialogue in the Aspen region. By celebrating Kaphar's practice—which confronts narratives of race and American identity—the gala highlights the center's commitment to supporting bold artistic vision and community engagement, while its auction and summer programming, including a conversation series curated by CULTURED, reinforce its influence in the broader art world.
