Bringing an immersive experience to Cheyenne: How Art For Art celebrates different perspectives
CHEYENNE — Five art pieces with three perspectives attached. First, represented through a song chosen by the staff, is the hosts’ interpretation, cued as a piece is revealed from beneath a black sheet. Second, the artist’s original intent. After the piece is unveiled, the artist takes The Lincoln’s stage to share the story and emotions that inspired their work before it is auctioned off live. And last, the audience’s take. Did the artist’s retelling prompt them to raise their hands to bid, or did the piece resonate in a way the artist never considered? Renee Jelinek, co-founder of The Lincoln, said Art For Art, the venue’s annual fundraiser and artist showcase, was created from her desire to “reinforce the concept that art is subjective to everyone individually.” Each piece has its own voice, but it can erupt at different frequencies. Of the artwork brought to Jelinek by resident artists, both new and experienced, those chosen for the event’s live auction are the ones that speak to her and her staff the most. “Sometimes there will be a piece that a song comes to mind immediately, but usually it does take quite a bit of working through different concepts to land
