The Wyoming Art Party is holding four free art workshops to prepare for Laramie’s upcoming Jubilee Days parade. Adrienne Vetter is a local artist and one of the event’s organizers. She says the workshops fit the Art Party’s mission to help community members express their inner creativity.
“We really want it to be accessible to anyone,” she said. “You don’t have to consider yourself an artist. We mostly wanted to give a chance for creative people to make costumes or masks or decorate bikes in an artistic way and then join the Wyoming Art Party as we have a creative float that has already been entered into the parade.”
The theme of this year’s Laramie Jubilee Days parade is ‘Unsung Heroes,’ so “we decided a fun theme would be Wyoming Mythological Wildlife, however you want to interpret that,” Vetter said.
The workshops will take place on Friday, July 1, Wednesday, July 6, and Friday, July 8 from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Seventh Street Studios in the Laramie Plains Civic Center. In conjunction with these workshops the UW Art Museum will also host the Parade Project as part of their “Family Saturday Art Classes” on Saturday, July 2 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
