UW Art Department Opens Gallery in Downtown Laramie
![3Dcollectorweb](3D"october2009_files/image016.jpg")
Sept. 28, 2009 -- The University of Wyoming Department of
Art will present its inaugural exhibition at Gallery 211 in downtown =
Laramie dur=
ing
October and November. Located at 211 S. 1st Stree=
t.,
it will serve as a forum for contemporary art and culture.
The opening exhibition will run from Oct. 1-Nov. 15 and will feature
recent works from Seattle-based sculptor John Grade and Ohio-based
printmaker Ina Kaur. Kaur
will give a gallery talk Wednesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. and an opening
reception will be held Friday, Oct. 16, from 7-9 p.m. All events are =
free
and open to the public, and will take place at the gallery.
Grade's sculpture and performative works =
engage
the landscape while they evolve, degrade and evidence their history o=
ver
time. Grade has received many grants and awards including an Andy War=
hol
Foundation Award and a Tiffany Foundation Award.
Kaur's work investigates how identities a=
re
influenced by our cultural experiences. An instructor at Bowling Green =

she has exhibited both nationally and internationally.
Both artists explore their surroundings through juxtapositions. Grade
pairs manmade objects with natural forces, while Kaur's
work assimilates past and present influences. For more informati=
on
on the artists, visit their Web sites at www.johngrade.com and
www.inakaur.com.
For questions regarding the new gallery, e-mail Diana Baumbach

The Depot has a =

Roof
&n=
bsp; ![3D"depot](3D"october2009_files/image025.jpg")
The roof was installed by Roland Roofing of <=
st1:place
w:st=3D"on">Cheyenne, using Malarkey Roofing
Products Legacy shingles - they carry a 50 year warrantee. The
shingle color is called "Natural Wood". Funding was
provided by the insurance settlement, Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund,
Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office, Jean Lewis Memorial Fun=
d,
and contributions from you wonderful people.
We matched the color of the roof as closely as possible to the orig=
inal
roof using a colorized postcard from the 1920s and photos provided =
by
Jim Ehernberger, Jack Wolff, and Ray
Robertson. As Roland Roofing was removing the previous shingl=
es,
they found a few remnants of the original asbestos tiles and they w=
ere
a near perfect color match to "Natural Wood".
Drop down to the Depot to admire its new roof!
