<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Commissions for artwork for the new Curt Gowdy State Park Visitor Center and the Health and Science Center at Central Wyoming College in Riverton, both Art in Public Buildings Projects, have been awarded to three artists.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> The Curt Gowdy Visitor Center will feature artwork created by Gillette textile artist Joan Sowada and Pinedale’s David Klarén. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Health and Science Center at Central Wyoming College will house a glass frieze by Massachusetts artist Rufus Butler Seder.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">“The Curt Gowdy project was a statewide call and we received 30 proposals from 21 Wyoming artists.” said Art in Public Buildings Project coordinator David L. Newell. “The proposals ran the gamut from traditional to contemporary, and the committee selected two concepts that really suit the lodge-style design of the center.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sowada is creating four quilted textile banners, incorporating imagery relating to the park, to hang above the information desk. Klarén is fabricating a series of cast iron fish silhouettes to be incorporated into the concrete sidewalks surrounding the facility and carved into the ceramic tiles of the Great Hall.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">“David is bringing his fantastic graphic skills to the project and his interpretations of the fish species native to the park are amazing!” said Newell. “The selection committee was also extremely taken with a suite of iron fireplace appointments designed by artisan blacksmith David Osmundsen of Buffalo. A separate fundraising effort will be undertaken to secure the funds to purchase those pieces.” Newell added.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">A national call was issued for the new Health and Science Center at Central Wyoming College. “We received 39 proposals from both Wyoming artists and artists outside the region. The building utilizes a soaring glass entryway and lobby space between the auditorium and classroom wings that served as the primary focus for installations, though the exterior plaza also received a lot of creative ideas.” continued Newell. “In the end, the committee selected a glass frieze that will knock people’s socks off. The piece utilizes optics to ‘animate’ its imagery and will morph from a single atom through a series of images, ending with the expanded galaxy. It will be amazing and perfect for a facility dealing with both health and natural sciences!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Both the Curt Gowdy Visitor Center and the Health and Science Center at Central Wyoming College will open the summer of 2013.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Wyoming Arts Council is responsible for the implementation of the one percent for Art in Public Buildings legislation for the State of Wyoming. By statute, artwork is commissioned as part of all new construction of state buildings with a cap of $100,000.</span></div>

Colin Stricklin says Wyoming offers financial incentives for large-scale
productions that shoot in the state, but he says this contest is meant to
encourage smaller productions – even amateur films. <b><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"> </span></b>“Not everybody has a budget of $200,000,”
Stricklin says, “so for those filmmakers that can’t quite hit our film
incentive, we instituted this contest as a means to give something back.
The idea being that the $25,000 grand prize can go a long way toward an indie’s
production budget.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Here's more info from the <a href="http://www.cheyennelittletheatre.org/">Cheyenne Little Theatre Players</a> web site:<br />
<blockquote>
To audition, we ask that you sing a song from the show "Rent" or another contemporary musical. You may bring your own accompanist or an accompanist will be provided. There will be no cold readings of dialog. We may ask you to sing a song from the show after your initial audition. You will also be learning and performing a short dance. For call-backs, we will be assigning songs from the show "Rent," including duets. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
IMPORTANT!! The Director, Brenda Lyttle, is looking for singing actors who are confident and fearless. "Rent" is an adult show with adult roles, language and situations. The characters must be believable and real. The singing must be strong and confident. This show is set in the Lower East Side of New York City. Racial diversity is crucial. We strongly encourage singing actors of African-American and Hispanic descent to audition. </blockquote>

Longtime Wyoming resident and author Gaydell Collier passed
away January 18, 2013 at Rapid City Regional Hospital.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Gaydell came from the East Coast and as a child told people
she would eventually make her home in Wyoming. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
She attended the University of Wyoming, and met her then-future
husband, Roy Hugh Collier. While living in Laramie and the Harmony area, Collier
worked as circulation manager at the UW library, and collaborated with Eleanor
Prince in producing three publications: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Basic
Horsemanship: English and Western</i>; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Basic
Training for Horses: English and Western</i>; and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Basic Horse Care</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
She and her husband purchased their Crook County Ranch in
1977. Collier took over the Crook County Library Director position and was
there for 14 years, while also operating her ranch bookstore, Backpocket Books.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
She was co-editor along with Nancy Curtis and Linda
Hasselstrom on three anthologies: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Leaning
Into the Wind: Women Write from the Heart of the West</i> in 1997; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Woven on the Wind: Women Write about
Friendship in the Sagebrush West</i>, in 2001; and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Crazy Woman Creek: Women Rewrite the American West</i> in 2004.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Her publications continued in periodicals, reviews,
anthologies, and magazines. Her last book was the memoir, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Just Beyond Harmony</i>, published in 2012. She received a Governor’s
Arts Award in 2004. She was a charter member of Bearlodge Writers in Sundance
and of the statewide writers group, Wyoming Writers, Inc., as well as a
sustaining member of Women Writing the West and Western Writers of America. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The memorial service will be at Fidler-Isburg Funeral
Chapel, 450 7th St., Spearfish, SD, at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, January 24, 2013.<o:p> </o:p></div>
