Roaming in a Herd of Wild Horses near Laramie Wyoming
On this Airstream Life vLog, we go on one of our favorite adventures to date. We take a 2-hour tour at the Deerwood Ranch Wild Horse EcoSanctuary where we go out in an ATV and get to learn about the history of the ranch and then roam among their herd of 350 wild horses. This ranch works with the BLM to feed the horses and helps get them off the public lands. It is amazing to be able to go among the horses and be part of the herd. Some of them are super curious and even come up to sniff you and the ATV. Between the horses, the wildflowers and the mountains it was an absolutely gorgeous morning and we would recommend it to anyone!
After being awed in the morning we headed into Laramie for lunch at a brewery. We walked around downtown to see the cool mural project and finally ended up at the University of Wyoming to see their T-Rex statue. Wish we could spend more time in Laramie but we have to move on!

Art important to the world, says NEA chair
Making art a part of people’s daily lives is very important to the future, the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts said during a visit to Cheyenne.
Mary Anne Carter visited Cheyenne on Friday for the Wyoming Arts Summit, hosted by the Wyoming Arts Council.
During her appearance, Carter said the arts unite people by bringing members of different cultures and political beliefs together.
“What we’re finding more and more is arts are a big part of healing and health and well being,” she said. “So for the future of the nation and the world, making sure arts are integrated into our everyday lives is really important.”
Art is also a good tool for economic development, said Brian Harrington, an artist and member of Laramie’s city council.
Harrington pointed as an example to Laramie’s Mural Project, a space where artists can join forces to create large-scale murals.
“When you see these things start to build community spaces, you see them strengthen communities and provide a space where we can all get together and sort of move on from there,” he said. “We can gather and collaborate and do things we weren’t necessarily anticipating doing before.”
Carter said the arts played a major role in the women’s suffrage movement in Wyoming. To commemorate that fact, the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra has commissioned a female composer to write a piece in honor of the 150th anniversary of Wyoming giving women the right to vote.
“I think that just goes to show how critical women are to Wyoming, economic development, the arts, just in general and making sure they are well represented is very important,” said Ryan McConnaughey, president of the orchestra’s executive committee.

Meet the Farm Wall™ Laramie Project
This summer, Bright Agrotech is partnering with the City of Laramie to beautify the walls of our downtown area.
The goal? Bring food closer to people while enriching the city, eventually growing Laramie to become not only a more engaging area but the Farm Wall capital of the U.S.
Bright Agrotech is passionate about connecting to this small town community which has given us support and inspired us through the years. With the help of the Laramie Mainstreet Alliance and partnership with innovative Laramie businesses, four Farm Walls have been erected on blank walls in Laramie's downtown. We hope to increase that number in coming summers.
We see this as one catalyst to create change in our community, says Trey Sherwood, historian and a key member of the Laramie Main Street Alliance.
Stay tuned for more update videos throughout the summer to learn about how businesses are using Farm Walls and how the relationship between city and agriculture can be fostered into something more meaningful than a trip to the grocery store. Laramie believes that city walls can be much more colorful than a surface of cinderblock or brick. These walls grow food.

Lyric Arts Theater Kicks-off New Season with 'The Laramie Project'
ANOKA, Minn. -- This weekend starts a new chapter for a long-time theater in downtown Anoka.
The Lyric Arts Main Street Stage is kicking off its 2013-2014 season with 'The Laramie Project,' a play that looks at the reaction to the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, who was gay.
Now Matt was sitting there. Aaron and Russell were in the pool area upon their first interaction, recalled the bartender who saw trouble.
A star-crossed moment leads to tragedy for gay college student Matthew Shepard. His story is told through vignettes, in The Laramie Project. A theater company went to Laramie, Wyoming to interview people, like cyclist Aaron Kreifels, who found Shepard's tortured body.
And that was a major key to me noticing it was a human being, Kreifels said. And it was,...his hair.
This is not a re-creation of the act of Matthew Shepard's murder, explained director Robert Neu.
Named Lyric Arts resident director last year, Robert Neu has taken on the challenge of bringing the aftermath to life, and how hatred impacted the community.
It has 12 actors who play 60 different roles and all of the language in the play are taken from exact quotes from the towns people, said Neu
The pathos of a town, put under the spotlight. The theme brings to mind recent steps taken in our own community - towards tolerance of gay marriage and anti-bullying measures taken up by local schools.
We can leave the theater understanding that we need to respect differences, Neu said about the plays affect on audiences. We don't need to agree with them, but we at least need to respect differences.
Now in its 14th season, Lyric Arts will bring some popular titles to the stage. But along with that, they plan to take some risks, with plays like Hormel Girls, and Junie B. Jones in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells.
Five years ago a lot of the plays the theater is producing maybe would have been met with, well we're not sure we're ready for this, and now the idea more is, the sky is the limit, of course we can do this, Neu said.
The new season at the Lyric Arts represents a new direction for the theater... which is trying to hold itself to a higher standard of artistic quality. The Laramie Project runs today through September 22nd.

WASTE LAND: A Survey of Works by Brandon Ballengée, 1996 - 2016
Artist-biologist Brandon Ballengée discusses works in his first US survey exhibition on view at the University of Wyoming Art Museum September 10 - December 17, 2016.
For almost 20 years, Brandon Ballengée has merged his scientific research with ecological art in trans-disciplinary works that bridge art and science, and has engaged in community-based environmental stewardship. Ballengée’s work is inspired by direct observation with amphibians, birds, fish and insect species found in today’s ecosystems and direct experience in scientific laboratory settings. He works in diverse media that includes biological materials, large-scale scanner photographs, installations in both gallery and outdoor settings, and participatory community-based trans-species happenings.

Art of the Hunt
Wyoming-based folklorist Andrea Graham discussed her fieldwork among fishers and hunters in the contemporary American West and explores how these traditions maintain, reinforce, and celebrate deeply-rooted elements of place, family and community life. The folklore and traditions surrounding hunting and fishing are among the most ancient expressions of traditional culture in contemporary America. Although hunting and fishing are not usually seen as artistic pursuits, a closer examination of the handmade tools and gear used, the skills of guides and outfitters, the decorative crafts involved and the hunting and fishing stories told among hunters reveal an enormous depth of creativity, beauty and tradition. These traditions remain strong, especially in the American West.

Heads Above Grass, Provocative Native American Public Art and Studio Practice
The ASU Library Channel presents the thirteenth installment of The Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community with Heads Above Grass, Provocative Native American Public Art and Studio Practice by artist Edgar Heap of Birds.
Professor of Native American studies at the University of Oklahoma, Edgar Heap of Birds describes his lecture as one spanning many different generations of time, and space, and culture, coming from Oklahoma, and going outward internationally, from Venice to other places in the world, to Italy, and so on. He shares some short videos showing these places and the work on location.
Edgar Heap of Birds works with multi-disciplinary forms of public art, large scale drawings, acrylic paintings, prints, and works in glass, and monumental porcelain enamel, on steel, outdoor sculptures. He was named a USA Ford Fellow in 2012. His seminars explore issues of the contemporary artist on local, national, and international level. His artwork was chosen by the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian as their entry towards the competition for the United States Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale. The artist has exhibited his works across the world, in various venues, from New York's Museum of Modern Art, to the grand ballet in Paris.
The art is really the art of living, the art of life. And Edgar Heap of Birds is one of those peoples that bring us art by working with art means that he works with the kind of life that we live. - Professor Simon Ortiz

NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) and NCAR Yellowstone supercomputer
Rich Loft, Director of Technology and Development at the Computing Lab of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Aaron Andersen (Deputy Director for Operations at NCAR) have been involved from the beginning in the design of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC).
NWSC has been operational since October 2012 and hosts the Yellowstone supercomputer, the 13th largest system worldwide according to Top500 (November 2012). NWSC is one of the most innovative and efficient computing centers ever built, taking advantage of Wyoming's climate to make use of evaporative cooling.
The project started in 2003 when Rich and Aaron realized that the existing center wouldn't be able to handle future supercomputers that would be multi-megawatt machines with hundreds of thousands of processors to solve problems in earth system science. An essential phase in this project was to look at the computational directions and requirements of NCAR. It resulted that the new supercomputer should be at least 30 times larger than the existing one at that time. In 2009 they defined the project for the building, obtained the necessary funding, and construction began in 2010 through a joint project with the state of Wyoming. The center has been built in a very modular way to be able to adapt to the needs of the next 20 years.
Visitors are welcome at NWSC: From a window they can admire Yellowstone and in the lobby there is an exhibition explaining the scientific problems that NCAR is adressing, how supercomputers work, and how the new center has been built. The final goal is to explain how the work of this center is connected with society and every individual. Through this exhibition, Rich hopes that young people will become exited about their work. In the future, simulation will become even more important in aiding our understanding of how our earth is developing. The goal is to have the kids saying Yes, this is something I want to be part of.
