The Neltje Center provides a sanctuary for UW students, faculty and other creatives to unleash their imagination in one of the most scenic areas of Wyoming, near the Bighorns just south of Sheridan. It's a place where writers, painters, and creators of all kinds can find inspiration in the natural beauty and incredible artwork that surrounds them. In this unique environment, arists are empowered to push the boundaries of their craft, experiment with new ideas, and create works that challenge the status quo. The center is named after Neltje, a renowned painter and philanthropist who, in 2001, founded the Jentel Artist Residency. Learn more about the Neltje Center here.

Neltje's interest in art went far beyond her work as a painter. She enjoyed collecting the paintings, sculptures, and ceramics of artists she loved regionally and nationally. She also traveled extensively around the world and collected the work of artists and artisans from Papua New Guinea, Africa, Indonesia and beyond. This exhibition features highlights from Neltje's extensive collection, shedding light on her interests and aesthetic taste.
