CWC'S ALPINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE REQUESTS ARTIST PROPOSALS FOR FARM INCUBATOR
Central Wyoming College requests proposals for an art installation to enhance a shipping container that is being transformed into a working, experiential-based classroom as part of the CWC Wind River Farm Business Incubator and farmer training program. All proposals are due Jan. 8 at midnight.
The container which is being transformed into a cleaning, processing and storage unit for locally grown produce, will be used spring through fall to allow farmers in training to learn how to properly and safely process fruits and vegetables for market.
The container will be housed at CWC’s Alpine Science Institute, where aspiring and beginning small scale farmers will learn new skills through a comprehensive six-month crop production practicum and farm business management course. Training will take place in the classroom, high tunnel hoop house, on ASI’s quarter-acre education farm plot and in the processing facility. CWC’s focus is on teaching the technical skills for successful farming at high elevation, with regenerative and organic practices.
All interested artists are encouraged to visit the ASI to view the container which is onsite in its permanent location: CWC Alpine Science Institute, 50 Field Station Road, off of Sinks Canyon Road.
