Oliver Ranch

Oliver Ranch is a Ranch located in Gyserville, California an hour and half North from San Francisco. It is owned by Steve and Nancy Olive who bought it in order to have a place where there daughter could have sheep and other farm animals. That idea did not work out that well, so they decied to commission Artist, to create site -specific works of art. They began there journey, with Judieth Shea an artist that they have been collecting, and who they had a relationship with.

After 30 plus years of comissining artist and supporting artist, Steve Olive and his wife Nancy have a very exciting collection of really wonderful work, both very prominent artist and less -prominent. The tours are only accessible by winning it through a silent auction of a art based non profit. Steve and Nancy donate there tours to art based non profits and the money for the tours goes to the non profit.

Steve Olive gives the tours of his land and tells the stories of each acusition. A day of giving, friends, wine, food and art is a day that will not be forgotten.

Here is a list of some of the artist: Judith Shea,Jim Melchert,AnnHamilton,Richard Serra, Bruce Nauman, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, Robert Stackhouse, Martin Puryear and many more! this is an amzing place one not to be missed.

As to food, Diavola has really wonderful food all in all a wonderful sweet, full day of Art!
