Sarah Lasley
Art + Film
Sarah Lasley's short film "Welcome to the Enclave" received a glowing review from critic Collin Souter in the Features section for RogerEbert.com. Souter writes that the film has "one of the strangest and funniest closers to a short film I’ve seen in a long, long time" and notes "when [he] programmed this film for the Chicago Critics Film Festival (where it won the Audience Award), [he] knew it had to close the block. Every film had to, in some way, lead up to this one."

Nicole Jean Hill
Art + Film
Nicole Jean Hill received a grant from the Wyoming Community Foundation to support a touring exhibition and corresponding publication featuring the photography of Lora Webb Nichols (1883-1962). Nichols used photography to provide for her family before, during and after the Great Depression, photographing pioneer women and providing a unique window into the role of women in this era and their cultivation of community. Both projects will enhance appreciation of female contributions to the history of image-making and the American West.
This work was selected for funding by the McMurry Library Endowment Fund Committee.
