A Collector's Legacy
An Extraordinary Collection. A Generous Gift. A Future Transformed.
May 20–June 25, 2026
The ACC Foundation and the Colorado Gallery of the Arts invite you to a special art opening and exhibition unveiling a remarkable and thoughtfully curated collection available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting ACC student scholarships.
This extraordinary collection comes from Michael Anderson, an avid art collector whose discerning eye and philanthropic spirit have culminated in a gift of exceptional significance. Spanning four decades and comprising more than 500 works by over 80 artists, the collection features outstanding works across a wide range of media, including ceramics, glass, painting, pastel, printmaking, wicker, and wood. With its remarkable breadth and depth, the collection offers something that will resonate with every viewer. The works have been generously donated to the ACC Foundation and the Colorado Gallery of the Arts, with all sales directly supporting student scholarships - giving guests the opportunity to take home meaningful pieces while making a difference for ACC students.
Join us for an evening of philanthropy and art.
