By popular demand, the Wyoming Arts Council is now offering one-day tickets for the Wyoming Arts Summit Oct. 19-20 at the Casper Events Center.
While the fee for the entire conference remains at $100, you can choose to purchase a separate ticket for Friday or Saturday's events for $50. Buying a $50 ticket for Friday gets you admission to that evening's Summit Gala featuring music by the University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, the UW Jazz Ensemble, the Casper College Collegiate Chorale, and the Cheyenne Chamber Singers. Governor Dave Freudenthal, First Lady Nancy Freudenthal, and U.S. Sen Mike Enzi will deliver speeches. Sometime in there, dinner and dessert will be served.
Saturday's schedule includes workshops and panel sessions with Dan Kemmis from the O'Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West in Missoula, Mont., Front Porch Institute Director Patrick Overton, and Wyoming Poet Laureate David Romtvedt. Lunch will be served during a town hall meeting featuring all the conference speakers.
