Save the Date! 20:20 for SE WY Artists

After a successful and well received premier at the public art symposium, the Art Museum is hosting another 20:20 on June 1st, from 6 - 8 pm at the Museum. 20:20 is the Museum's newest program and there are plans underway for a series of three events throughout next year. Each 20:20 will focus on a separate group of artists and arts organizations. The June 1st event is specially for SE Wyoming, a second 20:20 is planned for state-wide artists and arts organizations, tentatively scheduled for September, and a third will be held next February for students, in conjunction with the annual Juried Student Exhibition.

The format of 20:20 allows presenters 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds. This results in a 6 minute and 40 second presentation that gives artists, educators and arts organizations a chance to share their work, their accomplishments or new programs.

Join us on June 1st for an exciting and informative 20:20 and come support your local, SE WY artists and art organizations. Afterward, meet up downtown at Altitude Chophouse and Bar for a chance to catch up with colleagues, enjoy some drinks and talk about art!

If you are interested in signing up for 20:20, being added to the mailing list or have any questions, please contact Interim Assistant Curator Rachel Miller at 307.766.6621 or rmiller@uwyo.edu.

Ten sculptors in Sculpture: A Wyoming Invitational were in Laramie to present talks about their work, visit with symposium attendees, and enjoy Laramie during a spring snow storm. The two-and-one-half day event included 30 additional presenters, roundtable discussions with members of the Wyoming Arts Council staff, and receptions to meet and greet friends old and new.

The symposium was videotaped and full presentations will be added to the University of Wyoming Art Museum webpage in the coming weeks.
