Here is a link to the flyer for the grand opening of Sweetwater Studio in Lander. A show and sale will take place May 4-5. Sweetwater Studio and Potters of the Wind Rivers (POWR) Spring Sale and Celebration 

POWR (Potters of the Wind River) is made up of many regional clay artists from Lander, Riverton, Rock Springs, Dubois and surrounding areas. We support one another and work toward promoting the arts in our community and beyond.

Sweetwater Studio was created by Jenny Reeves-Johnson to provide a physical space for clay art, artists gatherings, collaboration, and inspiration.  The studio houses 4 working artists, Jenny Reeves-Johnson, Shawna Pickinpaugh, Stephanie Peterson and Nancy Ebert.  It has become our home away from home as we inspire each other to grow as ceramic artists.

Fire destroys Rock Springs studio of artist and arts advocate Gregory Gaylor

Long-time Rock Springs artist and arts advocate Gregory Gaylor's studio burned down this week. He lost a lifetime of artwork and all of his digital records. He needs our encouragement and support and would welcome emails to kgaylor@sweetwaterhsa.com. Greg also is a past board member of the Wyoming Arts Council. Artist friends are working on a fund-raiser. Find updates on this blog and at the Studio Wyoming Facebook page.

Artists prepare for emergencies using Studio Protector


The CERF Studio Protector Online Guide is the source for emergency preparedness and recovery information for artists. Small measures taken in advance of an emergency, and the right sequence of emergency response actions, can make a huge difference in reducing loss and in the time it takes to rebound from a setback.

Cheyenne studio space available

Camellia El-Antably sends this:

Clay Paper Scissors, a gallery and studio space in Cheyenne, has two open studio spaces! These two spaces are in their own room, which would be ideal for someone who wanted one larger space or for two-three people who like to work together. It has its own door, which could lock, and lots of wall space. Members have access to a kiln and slab roller, and a small proofing press. If you are interested in working in a space with other artists, while having the room to leave your work out all the time, this is for you! Right now we have a jeweler, two potters, a collager/painter and a book artist. Any medium welcome, and we are willing to consider writers, musicians, etc. Studio members regularly exhibit in the Gallery. Studio spaces are $150/month, plus a one time fee of $150. If the fee is an issue, we will work out a payment plan. We ask that studio members plan to help keep Gallery open to the public, but they are welcome to work in their own space while doing so.

If you are interested, please contact Camellia at 307-631-6039 or claypaperscissors@gmail.com to arrange a time to see the studio and learn more. Our usual hours are Thursdays 4-7, Fridays & Saturdays 1-5. Clay Paper Scissors Gallery & Studio is located at 1507 Thomes Ave, Ste B, in the southwest corner of the building facing the tracks.

Clay Paper Scissors Fall Classes

Exhibits: Our current show is called Wyoming Views and features four Laramie artists: Wendy Bredehoft, Susan Moldenhauer, Joe Arnold and Linda Lillegraven. This exhibit offers four diverse views of Wyoming through oil, pastel and photography. Susan Moldenhauer offers airy black and white photographs of the clouds and skies which contrast with Joe Arnold's detailed high-altitude paintings of the Teton valleys and mountains. Linda Lillegraven and Wendy Bredehoft's work both capture the sense of vast spaces while focusing in on intimate details of place and color. This show speaks to anyone who loves Wyoming landscapes! The show will be up September 20--November 14. There will be one more reception: Artist: November 6, 6-8 PM

Classes: We have a series of classes available! These are taught by Abi Paytoe Gbayee, one of our studio artists and a local art teacher.

New arts building topic of UW trustees' meeting

When wyomingarts was in Laramie on Monday, University of Wyoming art department faculty members said they were excited about the proposed new arts building for the campus. It will house faculty offices, studios/classrooms and a spacious gallery, among other things. Proposed site for the new building is adjacent to the UW Art Museum. This set-up locates UW's visual arts resources in one section of the campus, which will be a boon to a fine faculty roster (many of who are WAC fellowship recipients), a burgeoning group of 230-some undergrad students, and the UW art museum and its incredible array of exhibitions. UW cut its graduate-level visual arts program some years ago, but this new complex may spur its future return.

One question: have UW budget cuts impacted this project?

All of this will be a topic at this week's UW board of trustee's meeting. These meetings are open to the public.

Here's more info from an Associated Press story in this morning's Casper Star-Tribune:
The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees has called a special meeting to address subjects including construction of a new arts building.

The board will meet at 11 a.m. Thursday on campus to approve the university's 2010 construction request to the state.UW wants to issue no more than $33 million in revenue bonds to fund the arts project and then pay the debt with federal mineral royalties.

The university hopes to begin constructing a new arts building next year and to begin expanding the existing Fine Arts building in 2013 to house performing arts.

The board will also consider a plan to pay $1.1 million to help construct the Intertribal Education and Community Center at Central Wyoming College in exchange for a 50-year lease for UW's Outreach School.
