In celebration of our artist residency program's 40th anniversary, we invite you to join us for a fall gala and fundraising dinner in an unforgettable setting — Ucross, Wyoming. The evening will begin in the Ucross Art Gallery, carry through our the newly constructed Koehler Performing Arts Center and Lauren Anderson Dance Studio, and continue outside to in a heated tent and on our patio overlooking the Bighorns.
The Gala will feature appearances by many Ucross friends and partners; short performances by Ucross alumni artists Kate Schutt and Sarah Sample; a fun, lively auction, a seasonal dinner by Basil & Bloom, and good community cheer. At the heart of the program, we present Governor Mark Gordon and First Lady Jennie Gordon with this year's Outstanding Patrons of the Arts Award for their commitment to the arts in Wyoming. The Gordons will be welcomed to the stage by Ucross friend, neighbor, and best-selling author Craig Johnson. In addition, we will honor our founding trustee and longtime Chairman Jim Nelson with the Raymond Plank Award for Visionary Leadership for his vision and unwavering support for Ucross.
The schedule for the evening:
5:00 p.m. — Honorary Committee Reception
5:30 p.m. — Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres
6:30 p.m. — Dinner, Performance & Award Presentation
Seating is limited: Book your tables and tickets soon, so you don't miss out on this incredible evening.
All funds raised will help Ucross finish our 40th Anniversary Campaign, which provides support to our residency program (115-plus artists each year), thoughtful stewardship of our historic 20,000-acre ranch, and continued investment in our arts education and community engagement activities. Your ticket will help Ucross remain a meaningful and relevant resource for artists, the community, and the state of Wyoming.*
*If you can't attend, we hope you'll consider donating to this worthy mission.
