RAYMOND PLANK CENTER
Located in the Park at Ucross, the Raymond Plank Center is a unique space created to honor the legacy of our founder. Raymond Plank was a World War II veteran, business leader, philanthropist, and stalwart individualist. He envisioned Ucross to provide a meeting and working place that would be useful for artists-in-residence, the staff and board, and groups in the community — a multi-disciplinary laboratory for creative thinking. Today, the Raymond Plank Center hosts art exhibitions, educational programs, conferences, and special events, including the beloved annual Ucross Community Christmas Celebration.
CURRENT EXHIBITION
Narratives of the Possible: Artists' Books
Through October 27
Explore the first book art show at Ucross. Curator Mark E. Ritchie invites visitors to ask, "What makes a book?" Is it the physical object or the narrative it contains? This traveling exhibition features classic books, scrolls and accordion structures, books with multiple sequence experiences, books that open in unexpected ways, and books that are comprised of text, images and objects that engage with the sculptural aspects of being a book — but may not look like a traditional book.
Narratives of the Possible: Artists' Books was coordinated by Laramie County Library System, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mark E. Ritchie, Professor of Printmaking at the University of Wyoming and a Ucross alumnus, curated the exhibit.
