Plus, a professional auctioneer from Christie\u2019s will oversee the live auction, which features seven lots and plenty of excitement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe live auction is a cornerstone of the day \u2026 it\u2019s faced-paced and high energy,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cIt\u2019s really very exciting and it offers people a chance to bid on works by big name artists they might be familiar with, or learn more about these artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Also on tap for the day are standard happenings such as live music, children\u2019s art activities, the picnic and more. And, this year, Walsh said the Ranch is planning some new twists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019ve added a few new, really fun elements to the Art Auction and Community Picnic,\u201d she said. \u201cI think people are going to enjoy joining in these activities, which are also part of our mission of making art accessible to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Among the new offerings will be square dancing led by a professional caller from Grand Junction and the Rosybelle Mobile Maker bus with screen printing on site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt is just a great day to celebrate the Ranch, the community and how art can bring us all together,\u201d Walsh said.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/snowmass\/anderson-ranchs-annual-art-auction-brings-the-community-to-snowmass-village\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A golfer tries hitting the ball like an adaptive athlete during the 16th annual Challenge Aspen golf classic on Monday, July 29, 2019, at Snowmass Club.
