Summer?s finally here! We are entering into SAGEBRUSH?s ?hustle, bustle?time of year. SAGE is
again open on Saturdays and our numbers of visitors are increasing every day. There is a
whirlwind of activity around here and I want to share some of it with you.
Last month?s, 1st Annual Juried Photography Show was a big success, with 30 photographs making it into the
show. We thank Laura Lehan, Curator and Adam Jahiel, Juror for their contribution.
The 30th Annual Watercolor Wyoming National Exhibition will be on display here from June 2nd-June 30th.
This annual exhibition is a juried show and sale that features watercolor artwork from local, regional and
national artists. The artists?reception and awards ceremony will be held on June 17th from 5-7pm.
Come July, we are proud to present the Miss Indian America Invitational Exhibition from
July 8th-31st. Work by Arlene Wesley-James, deana jo harragarra waters, Virginia
Stroud and Sharron Ahtone Harjo will be featured. The artist reception and gallery talk
will be on July 9th from 5:30-7:30pm.
Since summertime is here, why not head outdoors with your art? Join the Little Goose
Plein Air Painters! They are a group organized to facilitate the learning and experience
of plein air painting in the Sheridan area. They will meet every 2nd Saturday of the
month (June 13th, July 11th, August 8th and September 12th) and additional dates will
be added. Painters of all levels are welcome. This summer, we are jumping in, with ?both
feet?to a great offering of Kids Camps. Our Summer Youth Program will include Kids
classes taught by local artists for ages 8-12 called, Jewelry Making, Paint Your
Imagination, Draw Yourself and Waterfalls of Color. {July 20th-23rd)
New this year, will be a High School and Junior High School Art Camp! These four classes
are: ?Express Yourself with Paint! with Sonja Caywood?, ?Photography with Stephen
Mullins?, a unique drawing and painting class called, ?Wipeout Painting with Micah
Trampe? and lastly, ?Street Art with Stephen Mullins?. (August 10th-13th)
We thought a perfect time for children to learn about quilting would be during Rodeo
Week. The instructor for this class is acclaimed artist, deana harragarra waters. There
will be two sessions, Kindergarten - 2nd grade and grades 3rd - 6th. (July 11th)
Last but not least, SAGE will be participating in the Third Thursday Street fair again! We
will be inviting our members to present and sell their work for good exposure. A great
draw last year was having members actually painting. This is an inviting way to promote
our artists and enlighten people as to what SAGEBRUSH is all about. Please let me know
if you would like to join us. (June 18th, July 16th, Aug 20th, Sept 17th)
I hope you enjoy our incredible June and July! You will be hearing from me again, in
August.
Until then, my best wishes, Kate
