Music & art mark "Rock Creek Wild" event

The Wyoming Wilderness Association and Sheridan Artists Guild Et Al (SAGE) invite you to participate in the Rock Creek Wild Concert & Art Auction.

Earth Day is in April and as a part of our celebration we are inviting you, your friends and/or class to participate in the Miniature Rock Creek Wild Art Show and Silent Auction. Finished and framed miniature art pieces should be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 10, at the center for Vital Community, 171 North St. Sheridan. They will be displayed at a pre-showing the week of April 12-19. On Saturday, April 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m., they will be auctioned off as a part of the Rock Creek Wild Concert and Art Auction. Proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the Wyoming Wilderness Association’s campaign for protecting public wild lands.

The concert at the Elks Lodge will feature Jalan Crossland along with Doug Andrews, Kyle Williams and other local musicians and artists with a passion for the mountains and wild nature.
As a participant in the Miniature Art Show, artists are requested to create artwork in miniature of your own materials and to donate the piece to the Silent Art Auction. The artwork may be 2D or 3D, but we ask you keep it within the dimensions 5" x 7" x 7", and should be ready to hang or display.

Because this is an Earth Day event, artwork should focus on what wilderness or nature mean to you. Some fun suggestions are using recycled materials or materials directly from the earth. Otherwise, artistic freedom is yours. Fun earth-friendly prizes will be awarded to the top three favorite artists, decided by a panel of judges.

If you have any more questions please call Liz Howell at 307-672-2751 Wyoming Wilderness Association or email her at liz@wildwyo.org.
