Touchstone 2008 in Laramie Nov. 15-16


Touchstone Laramie 2008, an exhibition and sale by the Laramie Artists, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 15-16, at the Ramada, I-80 and U.S. Hwy. 287 in Laramie. Times on Saturday will be 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Sunday 1-5 p.m.


The Laramie Artists Project is a consortium of Laramie-area professional artists. The inaugural Touchstone exhibition was held in fall of 2006 and was a huge success. Two of those artists, Susan Moldenhauer (shown in photo at Touchstone 2006) and Wendy Bredehoft, coordinated the effort. This was their reasoning (taken from the LAP web site):

There are many professional artists in Laramie who show their work in galleries and museums throughout the country but, until 2006, not in their home town. Artists Susan Moldenhauer and Wendy Bredehoft brought a group of artists together to form Touchstone Laramie, a showcase of their work. The success of their effort and the stream of requests from Laramie art lovers for the next Touchstone convinced these artists to plan the 2008 event.

And they’ve been planning ever since.

Wyomingarts traveled from Cheyenne to the 2006 exhibition. The four of us spent all afternoon there, ogling and buying. A perfect time to buy Christmas presents. It was one of the best art jaunts of the year.

The line-up list of artists in the exhibition is impressive: Alberto Alcantara, Alison Arnold, Joe Arnold, Wendy Bredehoft, Mack Brislawn, Penelope Caldwell, Cathi Carr-Lundfelt, Katie Christensen, Susan Davis, Stan Dolega, Ken Driese, Jerry Glass, Anthony Guzzo, Sandra Guzzo, Dan Hayward (WAC roster artist), Travis Ivey, Raymond Jordan, Crystal Lawrence, Linda Lillegraven, Ginnie Madsen, Jon Madsen, Debbie Mathew, Sharon Mathiesen, Susan Moldenhauer, Barry O’Riley, Jeremy Page, Joanne Ramsey, Terry Reid, Rebecca Sissman, Jeny Stoesz, Mike Stoesz and Paula Wilson-Cazier.
