Arin Waddell was one of six artists featured in Episode 7 of “The Story of Art in America”, which highlights the art scene in Sheridan, Wyoming. The docuseries explores the role of art in American society and its diverse communities, from large cities to small rural communities. Each season has ten episodes, each one featuring one city or county.
Producer Pierre Gervois, director Christelle Bois and the filmmaking team visited Sheridan last year and spent several hours interviewing Waddell and filming her studios. The episode, now streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi, was co-produced and funded by Sheridan County Travel and Tourism and released in February 2022.
