Jennifer Moore, assistant professor in the Department of English at Ohio Northern University, has been awarded a fellowship by the Jentel Artist Residency Program. Jentel is located in a rural setting on a working cattle ranch in the Lower Piney Creek Valley approximately 20 miles southeast of Sheridan, Wyo.
Moore will be among the award recipients focusing on their own creative projects at this working retreat for artists and writers. A panel of arts and literary professionals reviews samples of artwork and manuscripts before making final recommendations for residency awards.
An important tool of communicating with residents about current and future needs of the Village is the use of public meetings. Public meetings allow Council and Village staff an opportunity to give residents background information on specific upcoming projects, and just as important, allows residents an opportunity to ask questions and voice comments regarding those specific projects.
Two such meetings will take place next week:
