THE ARTISTS<br />
GWEN CLANCY<br />
An independent filmmaker for 26 years, Gwendolyn Clancy tells the stories of<br />
those who live and work in the Great Basin through her videos and films including<br />
A Cowhand's Song: Crisis on the Range and The Man They Call Will James, narrated by<br />
actor Richard Farnsworth. Her talent at tapping into people's lives has resulted in<br />
grants from the National Endowment for the <strong>Arts</strong>, <strong>Nevada</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Council</strong>, <strong>Nevada</strong><br />
Humanities and the Gund Foundation, and numerous awards - from the American<br />
Film Festival and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, to name a few. For the past<br />
eight years, first as the public information officer for the <strong>Nevada</strong> Department of<br />
Cultural Affairs, and now as an independent contractor, Clancy has hosted and<br />
produced a monthly documentary series, Exploring <strong>Nevada</strong>, which is broadcast<br />
throughout <strong>Nevada</strong> and parts of California. Clancy has a BA in French from<br />
Wellesley College, Massachusetts and a MA in Communications from University<br />
of <strong>Nevada</strong>, Reno.
