Update on the Wyoming Arts Council's Community Arts Partners (CAP) grant program:
Historically many partnerships figure into the policymaking, community planning, economic revitalization and affordable housing efforts in each of our cities. Today the communities that are experiencing the strongest most sustainable economic growth are the ones who are revitalizing their local economies by finding and utilizing local talent and cultural assets. It is for that reason the Wyoming Legislature and the Wyoming Arts Council have created the "Community Arts
Partners Grant Program."
Five communities will be selected to receive a matching grant of up to $10,000 in 2008 for specific community arts partnership projects that will support the goals of the program and meet the grant criteria.
