Arts and Humanities lecture series coming soon to Shell

Next Friday, Aug. 23, the inaugural Arts and Humanities Trapper Creek lecture and workshop series will begin in Shell. The idea was developed by Shell resident Barbara Fiedler and is the first of its kind in the area. It will bring artists, musicians, scholars and creatives to the rural foothills of the Big Horn mountains to foster creativity, open dialogue in the community and to create lasting bonds with visiting artists and lecturers.
The program was conceived last summer, when one of Fiedler’s triplet sisters, Peggy, visited and, Fiedler explains, was taken in by the local people and landscapes.
“She said to me one night, ‘You know, this would be a great place to do an artist’s retreat or workshop,” Fiedler says. “This is really her brain child.”
