Wyoming Democratic Legislators, Mike Yin and Karlee Provenza, are on a listening tour around the state. Join them at Grizzly Hall of the Park County Public Library in Cody at 6:30 pm September 25, to ask your questions, and share your ideas and concerns about the Wyoming Legislature.

The Water in the West Colloquium will feature a variety of presentations, panels, and roundtables on issues surrounding local/regional waterways and their relationship to human communities. Headlining the event will be keynotes by Alyson Hagy (English/Creative Writing) and Josie Corbett (Anthropology), winners of WIHR's seed grant competition this past spring. The purpose of the colloquium is to initiate conversations between folks working in similar areas who might not otherwise encounter each other on campus, to encourage future cross-disciplinary collaborations, and to build momentum towards a regional symposium on the same subject that will be held at CU Boulder in Spring 2026. The project is part of the Global Justice and Humanities Practices initiative of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes, in collaboration with the humanities institutes at ASU, CSU, CU Boulder, and Utah. The colloquium will run throughout the day (8:45 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.) in UW's Encana Auditorium (Energy Innovation Center 201). The event is free and open to all; lunch and refreshments will be provided.

We are very excited to welcome back accomplished pianist, Liz Shafer! Come on in, grab a program, and sit wherever you like.

In this lively, hands-on workshop, author and illustrator Katherine Roy will guide participants through a colorful exploration of watercolor, drawing inspiration from the ocean animals in her latest book, Sea Without a Shore. Students will begin with simple warm-up exercises focused on color and expressive mark-making, then dive into 1–2 guided paintings that explore the movement, mood, and mystery of ocean animals. We will layer washes, build contrast, and learn how to let the water do some of the work. Messy experimentation is encouraged! Art-making is a journey, not a destination. Open to all experience levels—beginners welcome!
This class will take place from 6 – 8 p.m. on September 26, in the Museum Classroom.

Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.

-$50 per Live In-Person Class
-Limited to the first 20 participants

Stop the presses! This Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to fight for what's right and seize the day. Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!

Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
