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.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Narratives of the Possible
Coming July 2021
Explore Ucross's first book art show. 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.
Music in the Park at Ucross
August 22, 4-6:30 p.m.
Celebrate the arts at Ucross with an afternoon of live bluegrass, food trucks, and more on Sunday, August 22. The festivities will center around performances by internationally acclaimed musicians Darol Anger, Sharon Gilchrist, and Laurie Lewis, with the opening performance by beloved Sheridan-based singer-songwriter Sarah Sample. The festival will also include art giveaways, access to the Ucross Art Gallery, and entry to our first-ever book art show at the Raymond Plank Center. Local food trucks Bonafide and Stoked Pizza will join the fun. All are welcome to this free community event.
