1. Paramount Café

Coffee Shop, Cafe, Coffee

At first inspection, the Paramount Café appears to be a simple venue serving a variety of specialty coffees, teas, and pastries. However, those who venture to the back of the shop discover a quaint exhibition space showing locally produced artwork. Displays change monthly and dedicate full displays to the work of individual artists. In addition to art exhibitions, the café provides further support for the arts by holding open mic nights for musicians, poets and performers.

2. Deselms Fine Art

Since 2001, Deselms Fine Art has operated out of a stylish building that dates to around 1880, originally built to house the Union Pacific Railway’s doctor. The commercial gallery exhibits all manner of art from sculpture and pottery to painting, and houses the largest selection of original artwork in Cheyenne. Deselms also offers an art consultancy service along with custom framing for those who do purchase a piece.
