CURRENT EXHIBITION
|
Curated by the Ucross Art Gallery team, In Company gathers 14 artists in a constellation of influence, exchange, and kinship. Seven former artists-in-residence were invited to showcase their work alongside an artist who has impacted their creative process. By highlighting relationships that inform artistic practice and making visible the subtle influences that link makers and their creative work, these artist pairings encourage viewers to consider how meaning is shaped both individually and collaboratively.
This exhibition weaves together literature, music, and film among paintings, photographs, sculptures, and installations. |

His work moves between traditional landscapes of the American West and intuitive material-driven abstraction. Travis's works across a wide range of styles and media. He has painted representationally for more than 20 years, while maintaining a rigorous studio practice in abstract and non-objective mixed-media. His artwork is featured in numerous private collections. Travis was a resident at Ucross in fall 2009. Learn more about Travis and his work here. Explore the Big Red Showcase here.

BIG RED SHOWCASE AT THE BIG RED RANCH HOUSE
This edition of the Big Red Showcase in the Big Red Ranch House is a yearly spotlight on one Ucross artist. The inaugural featured artist is Arin Waddell, whose work is on view throughout the Ranch House from June 16, 2026, to June 17, 2027.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised on a Black Angus cattle ranch west of Billings, Montana, Arin is the daughter of oil painter Theodore Waddell and writer, musician, and scholar Betty Whiting. She was an artist-in-residence at Ucross twice early in her career. She still remembers those precious months — making art, mayhem, and friends who wrote poetry and were terrified of the sheep outside our studio windows. Arin is thrilled to be serving on the Ucross Foundation Board of Trustees. Explore the Big Red Showcase here.
Join us on Tuesday, June 16, during the Grand Reopening of the Big Red Ranch House for the opening artwork exhibition, an artist talk by Arin, a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Sheridan Chamber of Commerce, open house, and a ticket summer picnic afterward. Learn more here.
