The Brinton Museum: BOOTS, BRONCS & BRINTON! SHERIDAN-WYO-RODEO!
Each July, Sheridan’s rodeo tradition comes alive — a legacy dating back to 1931 and deeply connected to the history of the Quarter Circle A Ranch. Bradford Brinton (1880–1936), owner of the ranch from 1923 to 1936, was among the founding directors of the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo. Archival photographs show Brinton riding his palomino, Ol’ Pal, in the rodeo parade, dressed in Western finery and clearly in his element.
This installation explores the longstanding relationship between rodeo culture and the Brinton legacy, highlighting the craftsmanship and pageantry that define the Western tradition. On view is Bradford Brinton’s silver-mounted parade saddle and matching bridle — likely California-made — engraved with his name and reflective of the ornate saddlery traditions rooted in vaquero and caballero history. These objects speak not only to personal style, but to a broader story of regional identity, celebration, and Western heritage that continues in Sheridan today.
UCROSS: IN COMPANY
In Company gathers 14 artists in a constellation of influence, exchange, and kinship. Ucross invited seven former artists-in-residence to showcase their work alongside an artist who has impacted their creative process. The resulting exhibition weaves together literature, music, and film among paintings, photographs, sculptures, and installations. By highlighting relationships that inform artistic practice and making visible the subtle influences that link makers and their creative work, these artist pairings encourage viewers to consider how meaning is shaped both individually and collaboratively.
In Company will be on view through December 19. The Ucross Art Gallery is open with free admission Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. While you are here, be sure to get a treat from the onsite Ucross Café.

The Brinton Museum: Roger Haight and Don Johnson: Two Wyoming Carvers
The Brinton Museum’s Northern Trust Gallery opens the 2026 season featuring two local artists – Roger Haight and Don Johnson – both are familiar faces to The Brinton and longtime supporters of the museum. Their collaboration on a two-person show focuses on the well-liked subject of birds. Roger Haight creates intricate, detailed polychromed sculptures of various bird species in their natural habitats. Don Johnson constructs beautifully finished bird houses with a strong focus on modern architecture. Each artist’s work complements the other highlighting the beauty of birds, nature, and the environment. It was both Bradford Brinton’s and Helen Brinton’s wish that the Quarter Circle A Ranch grounds be preserved as sanctuary for the conservation of birds and wildlife.
