Susan Moldenhauer at Saturday U: Public Art and Community: Building Partnerships through Art
Susan Moldenhauer, UW Art Museum director and chief curator, delivers "Public Art and Community: Building Partnerships through Art" at the Saturday U 2011 Summer Session in Jackson, WY.
What is public art, why is it important and what can it do for a community? "Sculpture: A Wyoming Invitational," an exhibition organized by the UW Art Museum for locations on- and off-campus, interjected new life into communities, created new partnerships that crossed town lines and has had unanticipated impacts. Moldenhauer discusses how the program was created and implemented and lessons learned about how residents might consider public art in their communities.
Building partnerships through art, science in the movies and an Indian tribe's resistance to American assimilation were among topics Saturday, June 18, for the summer term of Saturday U -- the University of Wyoming's free one-day college education program.

A half-day of college classes and discussion began with refreshments at 8:30 a.m., followed by a welcoming address at 8:45 a.m. from Paul Flesher, UW Religious Studies Program director and associate professor, at the National Museum of Wildlife Art Cook Auditorium.
Three representatives from UW then presented lectures, followed with a free lunch and a question and answer session.

In its second year, Saturday U is a collaborative program that connects popular UW professors with life-long learners in Jackson Hole. Offered three times a year, Saturday U is sponsored by the university, the UW Foundation and Wyoming Humanities Council and presented by Central Wyoming College (CWC), the National Museum of Wildlife Art and Teton County Library Foundation.

The program is free and open to the public. For more details, or to register for college credit or Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) credit, call Susan Thulin, CWC outreach coordinator, (307) 733-7425.
