Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival will return to Lander October 9-11, 2026, bringing together writers, readers, artists and storytellers for a weekend celebrating the literary arts in all their forms.
Described as “an art show for writers, a story festival for readers,” Bookmarked continues to create a welcoming space for the community to experience stories on the page, on stage and, this year, through visual and cinematic arts.
The Keynote presentation “Scaling Adaptation: Taking Chomolungma from Stage to Screen,” will be hosted in the Carnegie Room at the Lander Library at 6:30 p.m. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources.
The presentation will explore the collaborative process of adapting Chomolungma from a stage play into a short narrative film. It will feature a read-through of the screenplay, and a panel comprised of playwright Molly Jones, theater director Anne Mason, filmmaker Sophie Barksdale and artists Oakley Boycott and Sarah Ortegon HighWalking. Together, they will discuss how a story evolves as it moves between artistic forms and how writing, performance, visual art and filmmaking each contribute to building its world.

A highlight of the festival is the yearly Bookmarked Book Fair from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, October 10, at the Lander Senior Center, 205 S.10th Street. The fair will give readers an opportunity to meet featured writers, discover new work and celebrate the region’s literary community.

The Cheyenne Farmers Market is a family-friendly community event where shoppers can find fresh fruits and vegetables, locally raised meats, baked goods, specialty foods, handmade products, and unique gifts from local vendors. Whether you're looking for fresh ingredients, a delicious meal, or one-of-a-kind items, the market offers something for everyone while supporting local businesses and Community Action of Laramie County programs.

The Laramie Urban Sketchers group meets every Saturday at a new location to draw our surroundings. Previous meet-ups have been Downtown Laramie, Laramie Parks, the Wyoming Women's History Museum, local cafes, etc.
We draw the architechture, people, objects, and events around us for two hours, then meet back up to admire everyone's work and talk about our sketching that day.
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!

Join our facebook group, follow us on instagram, or sign up for our mailing list to receive updates on our previous and upcoming meet-ups!

Seely will discuss the three video works and the daguerreotype photo series featured in "Impact and Entanglement." Following her remarks, join us for a Q&A and a special opportunity to view the exhibit alongside the artist.

This program takes place on the opening day of "Impact and Entanglement: Three Video Works by Christina Seely," on view in the Wapiti Gallery through January 3, 2027.
