​Letter from Sharon Dynak, President & Executive Director of Ucross (April 1, 2020).

In response to COVID-19, UCROSS has announced a temporary closure of its residency and public programs, including the Ucross Art Gallery.

The mission of Ucross Foundation is to foster the creative spirit of deeply committed artists and groups by providing uninterrupted time, studio space, living accommodations, and the experience of the majestic High Plains while serving as a responsible steward of its historic 20,000-acre ranch.

The vast spaciousness of our Wyoming location has a powerful and life-changing impact on artists, writers, composers, choreographers, and collaborative groups. Situated in northeast Wyoming at the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, Ucross was established by Raymond Plank in 1981. The residency program opened in 1983. For more than thirty-five years, Ucross has been giving space and time to artists who come from all disciplines, including literature, visual arts, music, choreography, film, performance, and multidisciplinary art. In our complex of private studios and residences, visiting artists build a small, intense community hard at work in the midst of 20,000 acres of Wyoming ranchland.

Ucross is set on a working ranch at the confluence of three creeks, and its purpose is to bring deeply committed artists into the heart of an unparalleled landscape. We believe that being a responsible steward of the land closely resembles being a good artist, and vice versa—both require dedication, imagination, and the best possible use of the resources at hand.

In addition to supporting the work of individual artists, Ucross is a meeting and working place for groups, a multi-disciplinary laboratory for creative thinking. We sponsor and host educational programs, conferences, and special events at our public art gallery, which is a cultural landmark in northern Wyoming.

KATE SCHUTT + 

​SUKI KIM

Summer 2020 | New York

UCROSS SPOTLIGHT, a nationwide series of artist-centric events, is designed to highlight our esteemed alumni, their work, and their contribution to the nation's arts and letters.

Our next UCROSS SPOTLIGHT, a two-day affair in New York, will feature singer-songwriter Kate Schutt and writer Suki Kim. Given the intimate nature of the venue (private residence), invitees will choose to attend a Saturday evening event or a Sunday afternoon event. Cocktails and light hors d'oeuvres will be served. Note that we can only accommodate 30 attendees at each event, so we will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. More information to come in the spring. Stay tuned.
