S.E. Wyo. artists invited to sign up for "20:20"

Staffers at the University of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie have sent out invitations to the museum's "20:20" event set for Monday, June 1, 6-8 p.m.

A relatively new program at the Art Museum, 20:20 is an event that allows artists, arts organizations and educators to share information about what they've been doing in a fast-paced presentation. Presenters are given 20 images, shown for 20 seconds each, equaling a 6 minute and 40 second presentation. It's a great way to keep the Wyoming arts community informed and updated.

The June 1 20:20 is first in a series of three and is open to all artists in Southeast Wyoming. It will be the final "Monday Night at the Museum" of the season. Afterward, come downtown to Altitude Chophouse and Brewery for drinks and a chance to catch up with colleagues.

Anyone is welcome to attend, but presenting is reserved for those in Torrington, Cheyenne, Laramie, Wheatland, Saratoga, Hanna and Rawlins (and all of those places in between). Sign up is on a first-come, first-served basis. Images must be submitted by Monday, May 25, and must be in a PowerPoint format.

To sign up, ask questions or to receive more information, contact interim assistant curator Rachel Miller at 766-6621 or rmiller@uwyo.edu. Look for an e-vite in your inbox.
