Riverton Branch Library and Central Wyoming College Library present a public screening of the groundbreaking Native American Film, “The Exiles.”
Original cinematographer and Oscar winner, Erik Daarstad, will be the guest speaker. Erik will talk about the historical significance and the making of this film. He will also visit about these real life characters and answer any questions the audience may have.
“The Exiles” chronicles one night in the lives of young Native Americans living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles in 1958. It is the story of three young American Indians who have left their reservations to live in downtown L.A. and who will once again be displaced. This documentary is reflective and entertaining with an awesome soundtrack that includes Southwestern Native American music and popular rock-n-roll songs from 1958.
Discover what happens to these young Indians on Tuesday, May 4 at 7:00 pm in the Riverton Branch Library Community Room.
For more information, please call the library at 307-856-3556.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, through funding from the Wyoming State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.

From the Pinedale Fine Arts Council:
PINEDALE FINE ARTS COUNCIL'S SOUND CHECK 3 with LONESOME HEROES, LEO RONDEAU & THE SCIENCE ROCKETS
Saturday, June 26, 5 p.m. Free. At American Legion Park in Pinedale
It's that time of the year again. The Pinedale Fine Arts Council will be presenting the third annual Sound Check outdoor music fest on June 26 in the American Legion Park (5 p.m., free) in Pinedale. Sound Check was first conceived three years ago following PFAC's purchase of a new sound system via grant monies from the Wyoming Cultural Trust. The inagural event was a hit as Jackson's Aaron Davis headlined a great show with great weather. Last year's event was headlined by the Jalan Crossland Band.
This year, PFAC has booked Austin's The Lonesome Heroes as our headliners, Austin's Leo Rondeau playing middle and local alt-country rockers The Science Rockets will open things up. This is sure to be the music event of the summer so mark the date on the calendar, dust off your cooler and camp chairs and come listen to some great music!

Stubson & Viscardi in concert April 25
From an ARTCORE press release: 
Susan Stubson & Catherine Viscardi will perform in concert on Sunday, April 25, 4 p.m., at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Casper.
Susan Stubson is a sixth generation Wyomingite who began her piano studies at age eight and gave her first recital at age eleven. She received a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Colorado, Boulder, during which time she won the hallowed Fiske Competition an unprecedented four consecutive years. She was a regional finalist for Music Teachers National Association and has traveled with the Dallas Brass, performing Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue.
Susan received a Masters of Music Degree in Performance and Literature from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. Moving to New York City, she freelanced as pianist for the Orchestra of Saint Lukes and as an audition pianist for classical music organizations. She worked extensively as a vocal coach and rehearsal pianist for the Juilliard School, then served as an assistant to tenor Nico Castel at the Metropolitan Opera.
Susan yearned to return to the West where she earned a degree in law at the University of Wyoming. She practiced law in Casper for several years before "retiring" from the law practice to practice child rearing and piano…in that order. Recognizing the importance and relevance of art and music in our everyday lives, Susan is committed to arts advocacy and is a Board Member on the Wyoming Arts Council.
Hailed by the Connecticut Post as “an absolutely sparkling soprano,” Catherine Viscardi was most recently seen as Adele in the Intermountain Opera production of Die Fledermaus.
Other roles include Oscar (Un Ballo in Maschera), Sophie (Werther), Tytania (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Mabel (Pirates of Penzance), Olympia (Les Contes d'Hoffmann), Norina (Don Pasquale), Josephine (HMS Pinafore), and Madame Herz (The Impresario).
On the concert stage, Ms. Viscardi has been featured as soloist in the Mozart Requiem with the Greater Bridgeport Symphony in Connecticut, conducted by Gustav Meier, the Bach Magnificat with the Bozeman Symphony in Montana and the Mozart Exultate Jubilate with the Wyoming Symphony, both under the baton of Matthew Savery, as well as the Handel Messiah with both the Norwalk and Allentown Symphonies with Diane Wittry conducting.
An advocate of the song recital, Ms. Viscardi has performed concerts in Merkin Hall and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in New York City, as well as the Center for Contemporary Arts in Virginia Beach and the St. James Chamber Music Series and Cultural Corner Concert Series in Bozeman, Montana.
Previous engagements include Young Artist residencies with Ash Lawn Opera (VA) covering Rosina in The Barber of Seville, and Portland Opera (OR) covering Olympia in Les Contes d’Hoffmann for the mainstage and singing Queen of the Night in outreach productions.
Ms. Viscardi holds music degrees from Vassar College (NY) and Mannes College of Music (NY).
