Summer Art Program
 Young people in the Cody area continue to turn out in big numbers
to participate in a variety of classes offered through the summer
art program funded by the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale.
Approximately 300 budding artists, generally ranging
in age from eight to thirteen, signed up
for over thirty classes. Pottery was especially popular this year,
as artistically inclined children showed a real fondness for the
kind of “hands-on” artistry that medium affords.
Many classes focus on crafts while others introduce
young people to more advanced mediums and techniques. The summer
lineup typically ranges from pottery and watercolor instruction
to chalk and pastels, cartoon drawing, and plein air painting. In
all of the summer classes, the focus is on having fun while learning.
 Artists providing instruction are members of the
Cody Country Art League and classes are held in cooperation with
the Shoshone Recreation District.
