Accomplished artists from three states will be featured during the 18th Annual Douglas Invitational Art Show and Sale at the Wyoming Pioneer Museum, August 7-9.
The show begins Aug. 7 with a “Meet the Artists ” opening night reception 7 to 11 p.m. The evening features a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Tickets for the opening reception are $25 each.
The show continues on Aug. 8 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The popular Quick Draw event begins at 9 a.m., followed by a wine and cheese reception. During the Quick Draw, artists are given an hour to produce a piece of art. These artistic pieces are then auctioned beginning at 3 p.m. The show continues on Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Artists’ mediums include watercolor, acrylics, oils, bronze, woodcarving and pottery.
For more information about the art show, or to make reservations for the opening reception, please call 307-358-9288. Promotional support for the art show is provided by the Converse County Tourism Board.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
