The vision of Gravity was to welcome, encourage, inspire and support various disciplines of the arts. We wanted to provide a place that was all encompassing, welcoming to all ages, and fill a need that was in our community. While we were able to provide this space and joyfully share our love of the arts with many, we have realized that a new path for performing arts in Sheridan Wyoming is taking place. We are sad to close the doors on Gravity, but we are excited to see what the future holds for the performing arts community as a whole. We are forever grateful to the community of Sheridan for opening their arms, embracing, supporting and cheering us on. The individual donors, supporters, and board members who served throughout Gravity’s tenure deserve the utmost gratitude. The countless individuals who stepped in to fill a role at Gravity could never be thanked enough.
