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.

The current Artmobile exhibition “Off the Beaten Path: Contemplating the Land” invites viewers to think deeply about our complex relationship with the land.
Through the Artmobile program, students are given the opportunity to investigate and respond to challenging works of original art to which they might not otherwise have access.
The Artmobile’s “Deep Looking” activity invites students to spend time with the images in the exhibition to form original arguments about the artwork on display.
