Pinedale Fine Arts Council presents Sound Check Mini-Music Festival
Don’t forget to bring a chair, cooler, sunscreen and shades and enjoy a great summer evening listening to three great bands in Beautiful Pinedale, Wyoming!
Headliners Boom Chick features Frank Hoier on guitar & vocals and Moselle Spiller on drums. Formed in Brooklyn, NY Sept 2009, their sound is a reflection of their ecstatic love for early American rock & roll, surf guitar, early country music and Delta blues.
Lucy Tight & Wayne Waxing make up “Hymn For Her” - a band that hails from anywhere they can park their trailer. They have a strong folk, country and Americana vibe with enchanting harmonies and untempered angst and energy.
Hailing from Austin TX, Loves It! Is the duo of Jenny Parrot and Vaughn Walters. Jenny’s romantic vocal style can melt any man's heart and Vaughns' soulful and rustic delivery bring a unique and inventive energy to their music. With a touch of folk, bluegrass and country, Loves It! is totally Texas!
The now annual Sound Check was first conceived 6 years ago by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council as a means of testing a new sound system they purchased with grant money from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund. The Town of Pinedale,the Sublette County Recreation Board and The Pinedale Travel and Tourism Commission also helped support this event.

Three new works from each participant, created during the event's two weeks, will be displayed. Several awards will be given, with two of the award-winning paintings becoming part of GTNP's permanent collection. 40% of the proceeds from the sale of works at the show will benefit Grand Teton National park through GTA, the Park's supporter and provider of Park-related educational, interpretive and scientific materials and programs.
Stephanie Brennan, Chairman of the Board of Trustees & Officers at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, is this year's judge.
Participating Jackson artists include Jennifer Hoffman, Gregory I. McHuron, Erin O'Connor, Kathryn Mapes Turner and Lee Riddell.
RMPAP's exhibition concludes Sunday, July 15th, at 4:00 pm.
“It is an enormous pleasure to be working with the Grand Teton Association and Grand Teton National Park this year,” says RMPAP President Stephen C. Datz. “Grand Teton is a singularly beautiful park with a rich artistic history. The opportunity to continue that tradition, expand public awareness and appreciation of plein-air painting, and in doing so benefit the exceptional efforts of the GTA on behalf of the Park is a genuine privilege."
GTNP Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott adds, "Grand Teton National Park has served as inspiration for artists throughout the ages, and we're thrilled to bring the RMPAP to the Park for this special event. Grand Teton Association began collecting works of art on behalf of the Park over 50 years ago and this collection has become a valuable part of Grand Teton's legacy. We truly appreciate the Association's efforts in bringing landscape and wildlife painters to Grand Teton in 2012 to carry on the tradition."
About RMPAP: A uniquely close-knit association, RMPAP was formed in 2001 by a small group of artists intent on increasing public awareness and enthusiasm for plein air painting within the Rocky Mountain region and "fostering camaraderie, friendship, and professional development" among its member artists. The group’s membership consists of 50 professional North American artists.

Patsy falls to pieces (again) at Snowy Range Summer Theatre June 26-30
Country music legend Patsy Cline comes to life this summer as the Snowy Range Summer Theatre continues the 2012 season with "Always...Patsy Cline."
Presented by the University of Wyoming Department of Theatre and Dance, "Always...Patsy Cline" runs June 26 -30 at 7:30 p.m. on the UW Fine Arts Main Stage. Tickets cost $10 for the public and $7 for students, senior citizens and children over 5. Discounts are available for groups of 20 or more. For tickets and information, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts .
Written by Ted Swindley and directed by guest artist Charlotte Guyette, this heartfelt, toe-tapping musical tribute first opened in 1993, became a sold-out hit off-Broadway, and is now one of the most-produced musicals in the United States.
"'Always...Patsy Cline' is perfect summer fun," says director Guyette. "It has live music, familiar faces and buckets of quirky humor."
Based on an endearing true story, the show recounts the real-life relationship between Cline and Louise Seger, her No. 1 fan. Seger first heard Cline sing on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957 and became an immediate and avid fan, constantly hounding the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio.
In 1961, while en route to see Cline perform, Seger happened upon Cline in a Texas honky-tonk, and the two struck up an unlikely friendship. When Cline left for her next show in Dallas, the pair exchanged phone numbers and addresses, although Seger never really expected to hear from Cline again. But soon she received the first of many letters and phone calls from Cline, and the correspondence continued until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. The musical's moniker is inspired by Cline's letters to Seger, which were consistently signed "Love ALWAYS ... Patsy Cline."
Filled with more than two dozen unforgettable hits -- including "Crazy," "I Fall to Pieces," "Sweet Dreams" and "Walkin' After Midnight" -- "Always ... Patsy Cline" combines down-home country humor, true emotion, and even some audience participation to celebrate the life and music of one of the most acclaimed vocalists of the 20th century.
"'Always ... Patsy Cline' is Southern hospitality with the voice you love," says Guyette. "It's the Grand Ole Opry right here in our kitchen and on our own back porch."
The production features UW alumna and songstress Lindsey Cozzens as Cline and professor Lou Anne Wright as fan Seger, with UW alumnus Sean Warren Stone providing musical direction. Local musicians Chris Kennison, John Wilhelm, Jack Wallace, Don Austin and Jascha Herdt make up the show's live band.

Corridor Gallery in downtown Casper debuts "Member Smalls" on June 22
Press release from the Corridor Gallery:
The Corridor management recently asked their member artists to prepare a “small work” of original art to debut exclusively at the Corridor Gallery. The Member Smalls concept came to fruition based upon the concept of providing interesting, unique, affordable and easy to hang fine artwork. “We understand that it’s often more of a challenge to integrate large artwork into a space based upon available room and cost. We wanted to offer a more intimate, personalized show with the theme based upon size versus subject matter.” - Zak Pullen, co-owner of the Corridor Gallery.
Corridor member artists Holly Bryson, Mike Flicek, Rod Knowlton, Suzette McIntyre, Aumi Perry, Fred Taraba, Leighton White and Zak Pullen will all have small works debuting at the opening reception on Friday, June 22nd at 7pm. The show will be open to the public 3 days only - showing through 4pm on Sunday, June 24th. With mediums ranging from woodcut printmaking, photography, traditional oil painting, vintage american illustration, watercolor and character illustration this show will be extremely diverse offering a range of style and discipline wide enough to interest most. Adhering to the concept of small works, attendants of the show will find the sizes of artwork ranging from 4 inches square to just around 1 foot square.
Admirers of fine art and supporters of local Casper culture are invited to attend “Member Smalls”, an exhibit of small works. If you’re looking to soak in what new material the Corridor artists have created or acquire a unique small work for a gift or a special place, you will find the show enjoyable. Most of the artists will be present and happy to answer any questions.

Scheduled unveilings of major sculptures on the trail will take place over the summer as follows:
• June 14: Wyoming sculptor Sandy Scott will attend the free evening unveiling of her first casting of “Presidential Eagle,” so named because another casting resides in the Clinton Presidential Library.
• July 12: British artist Simon Gudgeon will offer afternoon clay modeling workshops July 12 -14, as well as being on hand for the evening unveiling of his streamlined bird form “Isis” on July 12; events are free.
• August 9: A second Sandy Scott sculpture, “Moose Flats,” will be unveiled in a free evening event with live music.
• September 13: Richard Loffler’s 64-foot-long “Buffalo Trail” will be unveiled at a special commemorative ceremony, part of the museum’s annual Western Visions®. At 150 percent larger than life, the Canadian sculptor’s bronze bison make a dramatic statement.
As part of his concept for the museum’s Sculpture Trail, Walter Hood, known for his innovative and people-friendly designs of such high-profile public spaces as the grounds for the De Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, made best use of the museum’s spectacular Jackson Hole vantage point with minimal disruption of the land’s existing contours.
A member of the Museums West consortium and accredited by the American Association of Museums, the museum, officially designated the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States by an act of Congress in 2008, provides an exciting calendar of exhibitions from its permanent collection and changing exhibitions from around the globe. A complete schedule of exhibitions and events is available online at www.wildlifeart.org. The museum is also active on Facebook at wildlifeartjh and on Twitter at @wildlifeartjh.

Author and visionary Ray Bradbury dies at 91
 |
| Ray Bradbury in his L.A. office in 2008 |
Ray Bradbury was the last of the giants of mid-20th century American science fiction, a select fraternity that also comprised Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov. The most literary of that pantheon, his work spanned many media, including science fiction pulp magazines, episodic television, and motion pictures -- but passion for the written word and fear for its survival may be his most enduring legacy.

Craig Johnson launches his latest Walt Longmire novel tonight at Tattered Cover in Denver
Here's a short description of the novel from the Tattered Cover web site:
Embarking on his eighth adventure, Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire has a more important matter on his mind—his daughter is getting married. Walt and old friend Henry Standing Bear are the de facto wedding planners and fear the daughter's wrath when the venue goes up in smoke two weeks before the big event. The pair set out to find a new site for the nuptials on the Cheyenne Reservation, but their scouting expedition ends in horror as they witness a young Crow woman plummeting from the majestic cliffs of Painted Warrior. It’s not Walt’s turf, but the newly appointed tribal police chief and Iraqi war veteran Lolo Long ropes him into helping with the investigation. Walt is stretched thin as he mentors Lolo, attempts to catch the bad guys, and performs the role of father of the bride.
Postmark deadline for Wyoming Arts Council poetry fellowships is June 8
 |
| Brian Turner. Listen to a March 27, 2009, BBC Radio "Poetry from the Front Line" podcast featuring Turner. |
To apply, you must be a Wyoming resident, 18 or older, and not enrolled as a full-time student pursuing high school, college or university art-related degrees. There is no entry fee.

Turner is a soldier-poet and the author of two poetry collections, Phantom Noise (2010) and Here, Bullet (2005). His work is drawn from his seven years in the U.S. Army, including one year as an infantry team leader in Iraq with the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division. Prior to that, he was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1999-2000 with the 10th Mountain Division. Turner was also featured in Operation Homecoming, a unique documentary that explores the firsthand accounts of American servicemen and women through their own words. He earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Oregon and has lived abroad in South Korea.

"Writers in the Park" series begins
The Grand Teton Association invites you to join its Writers in the Park series every second Saturday of the month, June through September. Writers both serious and casual, working in all areas of interest, are welcome. The workshops are free.
On Saturday, June 9, Wyoming's past Poet Laureate, David Romtvedt, will be conducting the writing workshop in Grand Teton National Park.
David says, "My workshop and talk will focus on really old Chinese poetry. The poetry of the moongazing half-mad half-Buddhist half-Taoist country scholars. These were writers who on full moon nights went out in small boats and chanted poems to the moon. Sometimes they drank too much wine and fell out of their boats. Our workshop will not require boats much less falling out of them. But we'll talk about some of those old poems and the way they integrated the life of the individual with the natural world in which the individual lives.
"I'm a writer and musician. My most recent book is one I edited on the lives of Basque immigrants to northern Wyoming. It's called Buffalotarrak: an Anthology of the Basques of Buffalo, Wyoming. It appeared in 2011 from the University of Nevada Center for Basque Studies. My most recent book of poetry is Some Church from Milkweed Editions. I served as poet laureate of Wyoming from 2003 to 2011. With the band The Fireants I play dance music of the Americas."
It's a David Sedaris Christmas in June in Laramie
Presented by the UW Department of Theatre and Dance , the play runs June 5-9, at 7:30 p.m. in the UW Fine Arts Studio Theatre. Tickets cost $10 for the public and $7 for students, seniors and children over 5. Discounts are available for groups of 20 persons or more. For tickets and information, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts. "The Santaland Diaries" is recommended for mature audiences.
Directed by UW Professor Rebecca Hilliker, "The Santaland Diaries" riffs on a few of Sedaris' truly odd encounters during the height of the holiday crunch. Unemployed and desperate, a struggling Sedaris attempts to enter into the holiday spirit as he deals with the humiliation of elf training, abusive customers, screaming children and badly cast Santas.
"'Santaland Diaries' is one of those shows that is really fun to produce and to see," Hilliker says.
Sedaris first read the essay on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" in December 1992. The piece was an instant hit, and Sedaris later published the essay in the collections "Barrel Fever" (1994) and "Holidays on Ice" (1997). He narrated a longer version of it for Ira Glass's Public Radio International program "This American Life," where it is still a regular holiday feature.
The Snowy Range production of "The Santaland Diaries" features guest actor and resident company member Paul Hope from Houston's nationally and internationally renowned Alley Theatre .
"We are thrilled to share with Wyoming audiences Paul's wonderful rendition of the role of Crumpet, which he performed last year at Alley Theatre," Hilliker says.
Hope has appeared on the Alley stages for 20 seasons, including in "Arsenic and Old Lace," "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and "Twelfth Night," among many others. Hope has an extensive musical theatre background, performing regularly at Houston's Theater under the Stars and the Houston Grand Opera with performers such as Cyd Charisse, Hal Linden, Juliet Prowse, Robert Morse, Lee Roy Reams and Eddie Bracken. He also serves as artistic director for Bayou City Concert Musicals .

New look & new venue for 12th annual Governor's Capitol Art Exhibition
This year, the 12th Annual Governor’s Capitol Art Exhibition will feature a new look and a new venue with the show moving to the Hynds Building in downtown Cheyenne.
“We were searching for a way to expand the show, which has outgrown the constraints of the State Museum, and one which would accommodate other activities associated with the show in a more centralized setting,” David L. Newell, show organizer and curator of art at the Wyoming State Museum said. “The opportunity at the Hynds Building presented itself and we said yes!”
The Governor’s Capitol Art Exhibition is an annual juried group show featuring works from some of Wyoming’s best artists.
“Last year’s show included 43 works. This year we are able to include 70 works representing the creativity of 53 Wyoming artists,” Newell said. “And at 203 we also received a record number of submissions. I was thrilled that all areas of the state were represented in those submissions.”
All artwork in the show is for sale, as are the works in the adjoining Artist Alley. All sales benefit the purchase fund for the permanent art collection at the Wyoming State Museum.
Artists participating in the 2012 show include Joe Arnold (Laramie), Mike Beeman (Cheyenne), Joanne Bornong, (Sheridan), Mack Brislawn (Laramie), Sonja Caywood (Dayton), Mike Conaway (Evanston), Niki DeLancey (Laramie), Ken Driese (Laramie), Vanda Edington (Cheyenne), Michele Farrier (Alta), Michael Flicek (Casper), Tom Ford (Gillette), Jerry Glass (Laramie), William Hart (Green River), Jill Hartley (Rock Springs), Karen Henneck (Casper), Gary Huber (Buffalo), Travis Ivey (Laramie), Tony James (Cheyenne), William Jennings (Buffalo), Gary Keimig (Dubois), Joy Keown (Laramie), Chuck Kimmerle (Casper), Marian Kline (Cheyenne), Eric Lee (Cheyenne), Claire Leon (Story), Jessica Lippincott (Thermopolis), Virginia Madsen (Laramie), Jon Madsen (Laramie), David McDougall (Dayton), Greg McHuron (Jackson), Mike McIntosh (Cheyenne), Ron McIntosh (Laramie), Christine Meytras (Jackson), Lynn Newman (Cheyenne), Paul Ng (Rock Springs), Catherine Nicholas (Cheyenne), Eileen Nistler (Upton), Connie Norman (Cheyenne), Jerry Palen (Saratoga), Paul Prosinski (Buffalo), Win Ratz (Cheyenne), James Robinette (Cheyenne), Georgia Rowswell (Cheyenne), Tom Shaffer (Cheyenne), David Schuster (Lander), Ken Smith (Cheyenne), Joan Sowada (Gillette), Shane Steiss (Green River), Fairy Todd (Gillette), AB Word (Kirby), Jenny Wuerker (Buffalo), and Dianne Wyatt (Sheridan).

Grub Street Writer brings its "gritty alt-folk" sound to UW June 6
Denver-based band Grub Street Writer will perform from 11:45 a.m-1 p.m. Wednesday, June 6, on the University of Wyoming Simpson Plaza.
Described as "gritty alternative-folk at its finest," Grub Street Writer is led by Brooklyn public defender and songwriter Andy Palmer. Many of Grub Street's songs, based on Palmer's experiences working in the trenches of Brooklyn's underbelly, feature the darker side of the human spirit. However, there is always a sense of hopefulness that aids the music's emotional response.
"His (Palmer's) concentrated growl is a constant across a variety of structures and themes, tying epic songs to more traditional lovelorn cues," says A.H. Goldstein of Westword.com.
Grub Street Writer has performed at such major festivals as South by Southwest and Denver's Westword music festival. The band recently was nominated as Denver's best "roots rock" band.
The performance is part of UW Summer Programs' Summer Concert Series. To hear more from Grub Street Writer, visit http://www.grubstreetwriterband.com .
The Campus Activities Center sponsors Wednesday's concert. Individuals needing assistance to attend should call (307) 766-6340. For more information, visit www.uwyo.edu/cac .

It's official -- UW Writer-in-Residence Mark Jenkins reaches Everest summit
 |
| One of Mark Jenkins' climbing partners, North Face athlete Emily Harrington, sends an Instagram self-portrait from the Everest summit at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet). “What a climb it’s been!” |
Twenty-six years after he unsuccessfully attempted to climb Mount Everest as a graduate student at the University of Wyoming, Mark Jenkins has reached the summit of the world's highest mountain.
Jenkins, a Laramie resident who works as a field staff writer for National Geographic, reached the 29,035-foot summit of Everest at around 6:15 p.m. MDT Thursday, says his wife, Sue Ibarra. She spoke to him by satellite phone about 9:15 p.m. Thursday, after he had returned to Camp 4 at an elevation of 26,000 feet.
"He's exhausted, but doing fine," Ibarra says. "He sounded good, but I'm sure he's probably relieved and ready to be down."
Jenkins, also a writer-in-residence for the UW master's degree program in creative writing, has been part of a National Geographic team marking the 50th anniversary of the first American ascent of Everest. He left Laramie in late March and had spent several weeks acclimatizing to the extremely high elevations of the Himalayas. He has been chronicling the expedition with blog entries at www.natgeo.com/oneverest .
In 1986, Jenkins was part of an expedition that attempted a new route on Everest's North Face, but weather prevented the group from reaching the summit. At the time, he was pursuing a master's degree in geography at UW, and he collected snow samples at an elevation higher than anyone had before, as part of his research into acid snow. Since then, he has traveled the world as an adventurer and writer, including ascents of some of the globe's other tallest peaks; dangerous trips to some of the world's last remote regions; and travel by foot or bicycle across continents.
Ibarra says reaching the summit of Everest via its southeast ridge "is definitely up there" in her 53-year-old husband's list of accomplishments.
"It's somewhat been a monkey on his back," she says. "I'm sure he's happy to tick it off the list."
She expects him to return to Laramie as early as next week.
Jenkins has since been published in dozens of national and international publications, and he's the author of four award-winning books. Before going to work for National Geographic, he was a columnist for Outside magazine for eight years and worked as a freelance journalist.
