Deadline approaches for WAC performing arts fellowships in music performance

The Wyoming Arts Council invites Wyoming individuals involved in music performance to compete for the 2009 Performing Arts Fellowships. Postmark deadline is Dec. 12, 2008. The WAC welcomes applications from Wyoming residents 18 or older who are not full-time students pursuing high school, college or university art-related degrees.

The WAC will award up to two fellowships of $3,000 each to honor the most exciting, creative work by Wyoming instrumentalists and vocalists. Two jurors from Arizona, vocalist/musician Ruth Lara Vichules and guitarist/composer Brad Richter, will choose the winners.

You can find a printable application in the WAC web site at http://wyoarts.state.wy.us/IndArtist/Performing.asp.
