Join local educator Robin Cameron for a hands-on cyanotype photography workshop. Participants will create their own ocean-inspired cyanotype bandana using found objects, seashells, and seaweed samples. You’ll choose your composition and decide how representational (or not) you would like your wearable art to be. No prior cyanotype experience is required; just come ready to be creative.

This class is presented alongside the exhibition "From Sea to Shining Sea: Wildlife Above & Below the Waves." A museum educator will lead a close looking tour for the first 30 minutes of the class to learn more about and reflect on this aquatic show. The remainder of the class will be spent outside on the Sculpture Trail creating art. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing, and please bring water.

This class will take place from 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on August 8, in the Museum’s King Gallery and on the outdoor Sculpture Trail.

It's a welcoming group with members of all ages and skill levels. Our goal is to document Laramie with our sketchbooks, and build a friendly community of people who like to make art together!

What do a certain Austrian composer and his English counterpart have in common? Hollywood, of course! Both John Barry and Erich Wolfgang Korngold found their way to the big screens of America and their music blurred the lines between the concert hall and the movie theater. GTMF Concertmaster Madeline Adkins performs Korngold’s lush, film-inspired Violin Concerto before the Festival Orchestra concludes the program with Beethoven’s eternal and appropriately cinematic ode to nature, the “Pastoral” Symphony No. 6.

Program
Barry: Themes from Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves
Korngold: Violin Concerto
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6

Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor
Madeline Adkins, violin
