Lander art district: 258 Main St, Lander, WY 82520 Meet Wyoming’s bisonĪccording to the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, bison aren’t livestock they’re wildlife - and you can see them for yourself. Make sure to stop by Alchemy, a cooperative of artists who make and sell scenic landscapes, one-of-kind jewelry, and intricate ceramics, among other handmade creations. Colorful murals of Wyoming’s wildlife adorn brick buildings, while nature inspires the paintings inside local shops.
