Contemporary Works on Paper

Western Wyoming Community College’s (Western) Art Gallery is excited to exhibit the works of 28 Artists from the United States and Canada in the Juried Exhibition: Contemporary Works on Paper. The show will run from December 13 to March 7. Visitors are able to visit the exhibition daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM except for holiday closures. 

Contemporary Works on Paper  is an exhibition meant to showcase the efforts of contemporary artists working with paper. From three dimensional creations to original artist prints, each artwork in this exhibition has one thing in common: Paper. While some of the selected artworks simply use paper as a substrate to draw, paint, or print onto; other works use it as a material to highlight the qualities of paper as an art material. Still other works in the exhibition feature paper in a unique light, as elements that make up a work of art that transcends the paper it is made with. From drawing, to papermaking, to cast paper sculpture, this show has a little bit of everything, and does a great job of demonstrating the versatility of the medium. 

Invited Artists include: 

Liz Baldwin - Camille Ann Brewer - Trine Bumiller - Daniel Cosentino - Briar Craig - John Fitzsimmons 

Eliza Frensley - Chauncey Hay - David Hile - Raluca Iancu - Brenda Jones - Amy M Kupferberg

Jason Lanegan - Heather Leier - Kadence Lewis - Ashley Miller - Claire O’Connell - Sudie Rakusin

Jennifer Scheuer - Stacy Seiler - Katie Simmons - Astri Snodgrass - Sue Sommers - Emily Sortor  

John Vinklarek  - Gail Wagner  - Sharon Whitham  - Brandon Williams

Western’s Gallery aims to promote arts-centered learning for college students and community members alike. The Art Gallery at Western hopes that Contemporary Works on Paper will foster broader views on artworks made with paper, and inspire thought and conversation on the topic of medium. 

Many of the displayed works are available for purchase, and the proceeds will benefit the Art Gallery as well as the Artist. All are welcome to consider purchasing an original artwork from the gallery today!
