Ann Simpson Artmobile

Art Museum Outreach Program

The Ann Simpson Artmobile travels across the 97,914 square miles of Wyoming sharing museum-quality artwork with communities that may otherwise have limited access to original art. The exhibitions displayed change every two years and are made up of artwork from the Art Museum's permanent collection. Visits are routinely made to K-12 schools, visitor centers, libraries, senior centers, and other community-accessible locations in towns throughout the state. The Artmobile Educator provides programming tailored to site visit needs. Find a currently scheduled exhibition near you or arrange for one of the programs to come to your community. 

The Artmobile Educator, Sarita Talusani Keller, implements the program, which includes developing an exhibition experience and related educational activities; tailoring the program to meet the needs of each community, and curating exhibitions on a biennial basis. Participants typically work with the Artmobile Educator to explore works of art through a deep-looking activity and discussion, followed by an art-making activity. The program provides project-specific art materials.
