A new group of residents arrive at Jentel

The Jentel Artist Residency Program has announced Spring has finally sprung in Wyoming and brings with it green grass, nature babies, warm sunshine, and May’s Jentel Presents. 

The program’s new cohort of residents come from far and wide to take inspiration from this beautiful state. Jentel Presents allows these artists to share their visual artworks, writings, and maybe a little music with the Sheridan community. 

This community outreach program, featuring visual presentations and readings by the residents at the Jentel Artist Residency Program, will take place from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, at the Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library Inner Circle in Sheridan. Attendees are invited to bring lunch and enjoy this presentation. Jentel Presents is open to all who wish to join.
