Stop by the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne to view Wyoming Public Media's Wyoming 250 Photo Contest Exhibit. The opening reception on June 4th features a presentation by Marcia Hensley, a Wyoming author.

Marcia's presentation will explore her book:
“Staking Her Claim: Women Homesteading the West."
According to High Plains Press:
"Instead of talking about women’s rights, these frontier women grabbed the opportunity to become landowners by homesteading in the still wild west of the early 1900s. Here they tell their stories in their own words—through letters and articles of the time—of adventure, independence, foolhardiness, failure, success, and freedom. "

After the talk, guests can enjoy light refreshments and enjoy the contemporary photographic images that are part of the Wyoming Public Media 250 Travelling exhibit. (View the virtual exhibit online).

Copies of Marcia's book will be available for purchase and signing.

Free and open to the public, the talk starts at 6 PM in the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne.

"Kick off Contemporary Dance Wyoming’s 2026 season with an intimate Sneak Peek of RESET. This special evening offers a first look at the work through a 15–20 minute live performance excerpt, giving audiences a glimpse into the themes of transformation, recalibration, and renewal that shape the full production.

Guests are invited to enjoy drinks and light hors d’oeuvres while connecting with CDW artists and collaborators in a relaxed, behind-the-scenes setting. The evening will also include a brief introduction to the company’s upcoming season, along with an announcement of CDW’s annual gala and other key events.

Designed as both a celebration and a gathering, this kickoff event invites you into the creative process, an opportunity to meet the artists, experience the work in its early form, and be part of the momentum as the season begins."
