60th Annual Community Art Show and Sale
You don’t have to be a member to enjoy the Cody Country Art League any time of the year, and NOW is an especially great time to come by as our annual show is on full display until June 11.
The annual show is the one time in the year where the entire community is invited to hang artwork in the gallery and showcase their talents in an attempt to win prizes and awards.
The exhibit will be up until June 11. The Cody Country Art League is a non-profit organization supporting amateur to professional artists who reside in Wyoming and Montana. Not only is there a gallery space, but we also host art classes for all abilities and ages.
The gallery is open Monday-Friday 9-4 and Saturdays 9-4 and is located next to the Cody Visitors Center and Cody Country Chamber of Commerce at 836 Sheridan Avenue. It is free and open to the public year-round and hosts a large collection of regionally local artwork and gifts, all handmade by someone from around here.
A special THANK YOU to this year’s sponsors. Because of your generosity, we are able to offer many cash prizes to artists who win awards in our annual show. Thank you for your support. Fern Bath
