HISTORY

The small community of Ucross received its name from the Pratt and Ferris Cattle Company cattle brand, a cattle brand that had a U with a cross beneath. This ranch turned into an 20,000-acre artist retreat when the Ucross Foundation opened its doors in 1981. Since its implementation, the Foundation has hosted 1,300 award-wining painters, printmakers, photographers, writers, composers and choreographers in their residency program. Artists are given uninterrupted time, accommodations and space to experiment and explore their fields.
