The North American Rock Garden Society (NARGS) is coming to Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 2025! Mark your calendar for your Wyoming adventure from June 12 to June 16, 2025.

Why Wyoming? Cheyenne is near the interface of the High Plains and the alpine wonderland of the Front Range, Laramie Range, and Snowy Range. Cheyenne’s elevation of 6,068 feet above sea level gives it a great climate for rock garden plants. Intense sunlight, clear skies, and low humidity allow us to grow alpine plants that languish in warmer, more humid environments. We can even grow some alpine plants that our friends in Denver cannot grow just 100 miles to the south and 1000 feet lower in elevation.

Join us the evening of June 12 for a special presentation in our Peter Hassrick Public Program series. Former Whitney Western Art Museum curator Mindy Besaw will present Knowing the West, a traveling exhibition she co-curated with Jami Powell. The show premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Besaw has worked since 2014.

About the Program
Mindy Besaw offers a fresh look at Knowing the West, the first major traveling exhibition to present the American West as a more inclusive and complex place shaped by many cultures. While many Americans feel they already “know the West”—through personal experience or popular media—this exhibition encourages deeper reflection. Featuring over 120 works by Native and non-Native artists, including textiles, baskets, paintings, pottery, and more, it invites a broader understanding of Western art and life. Besaw will highlight standout pieces, share artists’ stories, and provide a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative process that brought the exhibition to life.

Knowing the West premiered at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (September 2024–January 2025). It travels to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida (March–August 2025) and North Carolina Museum of Art (March–May 2026). The exhibition is accompanied by a multi-author, full-color catalogue, published by Rizzoli.

Nearly 50 invited artists are given one day to create new masterpieces en plein air (outside). They paint from the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Sculpture Trail with stupendous views overlooking the National Elk Refuge. All visitors are welcome to watch the painters, and collectors are invited to browse and bid on the fresh artworks. All proceeds will benefit the Museum and participating artists. Enjoy free admission from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

9:00 a.m.: Event Kickoff
12:15 – 1:00 p.m.: Silent Auction

Two participation categories for the artists: plein air and al fresco.

The plein air category allows artists to paint any regional scene of their choice, and they may begin their painting anywhere in the vicinity. All artists will be on the Sculpture Trail by 10 a.m. to finish their piece live and in person. Al fresco is interpreted more broadly, where artists enjoy painting outside using reference photos of any subject. The “Best in Show” award winner will be picked from the plein air category, while the al fresco category is not judged.
