Help The Nic plan its future

The public is invited to participate in an innovative economic development art project by attending an open community forum from 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 1, at the Nicolaysen Art Museum & Discovery Center in Casper.

There will be a presentation by Art Space, a national leader in developing affordable housing space for artists by adapting old warehouses, schools, and commercial buildings.

Tuesday’s visit by Art Space representatives and the forum are being held following The Nic’s successful application to the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund to do a feasibility evaluation for developing artists’ lofts/studios and art spaces in Casper.“We need your input to make this study a success,” said Holly Turner, the museum’s executive director.
