Public Art

Art is an extremely important part of Lander's identity. Over one dozen monumental bronze sculptures line Main Street. Each bronze represents a piece of Lander history or heritage. Native Americans, mountain men, wildlife, and ranching are all represented; even our very own ground hog Lander Lil has a bronze sculpture in her honor. Individual works of art adorn the light poles along Main Street in the form of banners, handpainted for the Beautification Committee by members of the Lander Artists Guild.

The WSFC was founded with the dual purposes of providing exposure to Shakespeare's great plays to Wyoming audiences and the touring company experience for Wyoming theatre majors and community actors. Diane Springford, who founded WSFC, currently serves as Artistic Director. Thirty to 50 actors are engaged in theatre productions in a typical year, and the WSFC performs before an audience of several thousand annually. The WSFC is directed by a six-member Board of Trustees, primarily supporters of the arts from the Lander area. The WSFC was organized in 1999, and began production of classical theatre in Wyoming in 2000. WSFC is a private, non-profit corporation.
