A new public artwork will be unveiled this week with the dedication of the Health and Science Center at Central Wyoming College in Riverton.
Following the noon dedication on Friday, Sept. 20, tours will be conducted of the facility. During the tours, Massachusetts artist Rufus Butler Seder is in the main lobby to explain the mural he created from glass tiles. Seder’s proposal to create the “glass frieze” was selected from a national call for artists by a Wyoming Art in Public Buildings committee. The mural of “life tiles” creates optically animated images that represent the courses being taught in the Health and Science Center.
Seder also will present an art workshop in room 100 of the Health and Science Center on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m.
Lunch following the dedication is served in a big tent northwest of the Health and Science Center and music will be provided by The Teka Brock Band and The Libby Creek Originals. Tours will be conducted every 20 minutes until 6 p.m.
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.
