Community Building

We are more than just a retail store; we are a curated experience and a community hub designed to promote human connection and celebrate creativity.

We actively bring this vision to life by forging meaningful co-branded partnerships with a diverse network of local organizations, individual artisans, and other small businesses. These relationships are the cornerstone of our commitment to being a place where everyone is welcome and can feel part of something human.

These collaborations enable us to be a vibrant part of the Cheyenne community. By hosting events ranging from art workshops and poetry readings to wellness classes and cultural explorations, we create a dynamic space that actively supports the arts and crafts.

A key aspect of our vision for community building is our strong partnership with the Human Experiences Center, LLC (HEC), a Cheyenne-based organization founded by Elizabeth Valverde-Bartlett. HEC’s mission is to create resilient individuals and peaceful communities through trauma-informed guidance, conflict transformation, and peacebuilding strategies.

This collaboration is tangible, as the Human Experiences Center is located within our store at Suite 205. Presenzza serves as an excellent venue for HEC’s wide range of activities, including individual and group sessions, seminars, and gatherings.

Our partnership with WyoPoets, a statewide 501(c)(3) organization, is a cornerstone of our mission to support local arts and champion Wyoming’s authors. WyoPoets is dedicated to “encouraging interest in poetry throughout the state of Wyoming”, and our collaboration brings this mission to life. Presenzza serves as a dedicated physical retail space where WyoPoets members can showcase and sell their published books, providing local poets with a valuable storefront and connecting their work with the community.

This collaboration is a direct-support consignment partnership, ensuring that 75% of every sale goes directly to the author. This model provides tangible, economic support for the artists and makers who enrich our community, aligning perfectly with our goals.

Our strategy aims to support children’s development through creative expression, promote inclusivity among seniors through accessible, engaging activities, and celebrate the rich diversity of our region. Our approach supports natural coexistence among generations, enabling individuals of all ages and backgrounds to connect, learn, and share in a welcoming environment.
