Temporary Exhibits

This...and that. ART by Linda Sopko

January 19- February 18, 2012

  An exhibition with works of art by Worland Artist, Linda Sopko in the mediums of pastel, charcoal, pen and ink, scratchboard, and water color. 

 Sopko has had a love for art since early childhood and claims that art is the only interest that truly influenced her career decisions.  Sopko has worked as a commercial artist,  designer, and graphic artist in Illinois, Ohio, and most recently Wyoming.  Her hope is to convey the beauty of the surroundings, people, and animals she lives among and selects a variety of mediums in an attempt to capture the glorious colors God has created.

Exhibits for all Curiosities
March 1 - April 14, 2012

Within the depths of the Museum's artifact storage lie many unique items which are seldom displayed and undoubtedly deserve the chance. Among these treasures is a collection of extraordinary art from a Children's Art Exchange between Harbin, China and Worland, Wyoming. Another unique collection that will be on display are the Nicolai Fechin Prints, donated by Mike and Ken St. Clair will be shown in Washakie Museum's temporary gallery in addition to the Chinese Children's Art. A selection of Jim Davis Community Portraits will also be on display at this time. The highly requested portrait sketches will be emerging once again to spotlight the unforgettable members of our local community, both past and present. Steiner Buds will be on display to highlight yet another cherished component of the Museum’s collection. We are very fortunate that two local "rock hounds", Richard and Ella Steiner of Worland discovered remarkable examples of Jurassic plant fossils as they scoured an area north of Greybull. No matter what your curiosity, you will be sure to find interest in one or all of these featured exhibits.
