This spring, ALCES Community Works was glad to support Relative Theatrics' PLAY/WRITE showcase, lending creative prop support, tech support, and hospitality to the adult actors bringing nine student-written plays to life on stage. We believe in what happens when kids are trusted with real artistic tools.

This responsive initiative partners artists from across Wyoming with public lands advocates and policymakers to co-create a series of free, accessible posters that celebrate—and advocate for—our shared public lands. Great for rallies, hanging in your living room window, or sharing with another pal in the West. Three posters to date!

We work with Cheyenne’s Hellenic House and Cultural Center to support the preservation and continued operation of Wyoming’s only Greek cultural center. Together, we are documenting and amplifying stories of Greek immigration, labor, contribution, and cultural life in Wyoming.

A unique artist residency program at the Snow Survey Cabin, situated along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway in the Brush Creek-Hayden Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Each year, Alces invites two science communicators to participate in this mini-residency, providing creative support, a $150 stipend and up to four nights of accommodation in the Forest Service Snow Survey Cabin.

High Iron is a moving piece of public art—a modified train car—that features stories of ancestors who constructed the transcontinental railroad, multigenerational laborers who built the economy of Wyoming, and contemporary rail workers and their unions.

In partnership with Laramie Interfaith, Alces commissioned artist Rhiannon Jakopak to create Bright Strength, a site-specific mural for the organization’s lobby —an environment where care, resource-sharing, and mutual support are practiced daily.

Housing is a story about belonging. ALCES Community Works designed the website for Wyoming Neighbors for Housing, a nonprofit bringing Wyomingites together around housing affordability, education, and policy advocacy.

Through Art for All, we provided free arts-integrated opportunities for seven Laramie nonprofits, tailoring each collaboration to the unique needs of our partners. We worked closely with local artists to bring the joy of artmaking into community spaces—supporting them through commissions, purchasing artwork, and hiring them to lead workshops.

An ongoing series of community events designed to bring creatives and artmakers together to explore practice, process, and inspiration through conversation. These gatherings celebrate the vibrancy of artistic communities while fostering deeper community connections by creating space for shared learning, listening, and dialogue.
