UW sculpture project to air on Wyoming PBS


A documentary by UWTV, “Imagine Learning from the Masters: Public Art and Community Partnership” will air on Wyoming PBS on Sunday, Spetember 13 at 5:30 p.m. The film, narrated and filmed by UWTV’s Mary Jung, features interviews with several of the artists who contributed work to the exhibition, “Sculpture: A Wyoming Invitational.” In addition to hearing from artists such as James Surls, Patrick Dougherty and John Henry, the documentary includes comments from UW and city administrators.

“Sculpture: A Wyoming Invitational” was organized by the UW Art Museum in the summer of 2008, during a time when the Museum’s galleries were closed for renovation. The exhibition has sparked an over-year-long discussion on public art and continues to receive enthusiastic responses. A public art symposium was held in April, during which time the documentary was first shown. The Wyoming Arts Council was a co-sponsor of the art symposium.
