The public is invited to join the Jacques Laramie Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), as they rededicate Albany County's WWI Memorial Monument. The Chapter applied for and received an America 250 grant from the Wyoming Semiquincentennial Planning Task Force to professionally restore the monument located at the Northeast corner of the Albany County Courthouse block (6th and Ivinson). Following the rededication ceremony, there will be a reception and an education program by historian Kim Viner at the Alice Hardie Stevens Center. There will also be a slide show assembled by DAR member and Albany County Historical Society President Jan Botkin Therkildsen with photos and information about those who served plus general informational displays about WWI, memorabilia and refreshments. The monument was unveiled in Laramie in 1924 as a memorial to those from the county who served in the Great War and the 32 men who lost their lives. Created by renowned artist Giuseppe Moretti, it was originally placed in downtown Laramie at 2nd and Thornburgh (Later Ivinson Ave) and later moved to its current location. Prominent Laramie residents Grace Raymond Hebard and Edward Ivinson were instrumental in the effort to raise funds and get the monument installed, and Hebard was a founder of the Jacques Laramie DAR chapter.

Join artist Ivan Iler for a hands-on metal chasing workshop. Over thousands of years metal has been hammered into sheets and used to decorate everything from the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs to the Statue of Liberty. Despite technological advancements, this ancient craft has remained the same. In this exciting class, Ivan will explore the history of metal artistry and teach students the tools and skills they need to form metal themselves. This entry-level class requires no prior knowledge or skills. Participants will leave the class with their very own metal-chased wildlife artwork.

This class is presented alongside the exhibition "Art in Motion: Kinetic Sculpture with Ivan Iler." During the first 30 minutes of the class Ivan will guide students through his work in the galleries. We will then move to the classroom for the art making portion.

About the artist:
Ivan Iler is a Michigan-based artist best known for his larger-than-life kinetic metal sculptures. He loves creating artwork that highlights the intersection of science and art, creating realistic pieces that breathe movement and life into inanimate objects. Ivan’s speciality is in hands-on work and creations, excelling in various mediums such as metal fabrication, sculpting, carving, engraving, blacksmithing, painting, leather smithing, and more. Ivan is passionate about inspiring a sense of wonder and curiosity through his art. You can catch him on the Netflix original series "Metal Shop Masters."
