Fresh produce and fresh art

On Friday, July 13, the UW Art Museum will participate in the Laramie Farmer’s Market. Stop by the museum booth and learn about upcoming Art Museum events and make your own western belt buckle or pin just in time for the Laramie Jubilee Days.
"Last year, the Art Museum was present at the market, but we only had flyers and information about the exhibits," Education Curator Wendy Bredehoft said. "This year, we hope the interaction between the patrons and the docents will be more lively." Materials will be provided by the Art Museum. There will be a limit of one piece per participant.


The Laramie Farmer’s Market takes place from 3-7 p.m., Fridays throughout the summer. Located on Grand Avenue between 1st and 3rd Streets, the market offers a wide variety of fresh produce, baked goods and meats. The market is organized by the Downtown Laramie Business Association and the downtown merchants are also open.

Bringing the world of art to Wyoming, the Art Museum is located in the Centennial Complex at 22nd & Willett Drive in Laramie. The Museum and Museum Store are open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, please call the Art Museum at 307-766-6622 or visit
