On the move to Lander!

The HeART will be in Lander at the Folklore Coffeehouse (329 Main Street) beginning in early November and running through the end of the month. We hope to expose and share the HeART project with a wider audiance by bringing it across the Divide, and we hope that many people will stop in to the Folklore to take in the HeART.

We are also discussing the continuation of the HeART into the future. We have recieved many enthusiastic responses about the project, and many people have shared the perspective that they would enjoy seeing it continue on. The Two Sisters, however, realize that much help is needed financially and organizationally, and we would love to hear from more of you about carrying the HeART on. Please contact us with your ideas!

The HeART is in Big Piney!

The HeART is now on display in Big Piney at the public library. We encourage you all to stop in and visit this exhibit, as it will be moving to Lander at the end of September. Thanks again to all the artists and contributors to this project! We appreciate any comments you may have about the project! Feel free to post them here or send us an email at calliedomek@yahoo.com.

This past weekend's festival in Pinedale was a great success! Many thanks to all who participated and contributed. Special thanks to Dave Smith who provided the sound setup. The art for the project will be on display at the Sublette County Library in Pinedale for a month before moving around to different locations in western Wyoming. Please visit the Pinedale library to see what people have to say about sense of place in and around Sublette County!

A Call for Participation

“To care is neither conservative nor radical. It is a form of consciousness.”—John Ralston Saul

Callie and Sara Domek, Two Sisters from Cora would like to welcome you to the online site of the Heart of Sublette County; a community art project they are coordinating in their home of Sublette County, Wyoming. The purpose of this project is to engage the community of Sublette County (and the surrounding areas), to share perspectives on the heart of an ecological and human community that is bearing witness to the changes brought by recent large-scale expansion of oil and natural gas development. We are calling all artists at all levels, ages, skills and abilities to share stories, film, poems, visual artwork, dance, music, and any other creative talent to express what life in Sublette County means.

The specific goals of this community art project include:
· Holding an open festival in Pinedale, Wyoming on July 19, 2008 where participants present their visual, musical, literary, and other creative work,
· After this event, the pieces will become part of a traveling art exhibit, visiting communities throughout Sublette County and western Wyoming through the autumn months. The traveling exhibit will communicate the importance of sense of place with the greater community of Wyoming, because the changes seen in Sublette County do have wide-reaching effects, and have brought new challenges to other areas in Wyoming as well.
· In addition to the festival and traveling exhibit, we will compile the contributions and artists’ statements in an exhibition booklet that will be available to the public, also sharing the purpose and vision of the project.

We would love to hear from you! If you are interested in participating in the Heart or if you want more information about this project, please contact the Two Sisters from Cora:
