Artscapes, summer issue

It's almost in the mail, but if you just can't wait, go to our homepage at http://wyoarts.state.wy.us/ and click on the Artscapes link to read the PDF version of the WAC's latest editon of the quarterly newsletter.

Board chair Bruce Richardson writes another satisfyingly saucy article about audience reaction to arts events. Love him, love his writing!

Manager Rita Basom brings it home with why we gather together around a common interest and why this is so important, striking a comparison between the "state" of gathering to the "state" of Wyoming. Nice one, Rita!

Look for articles on our featured individual artists George Vlastos, Robert Martinez and Fat City Mardi Gras Band; Native Emerging Artists Training; Wyoming's Art of the Hunt initiative; the town of Pinedale; deadline (Oct. 1) for Governor's Arts Awards nominations; the application period for the artist roster; National Assesment of Educational Progress for the Arts; Community Art Partners (CAP) grant; bronze casting class; October is Arts and Humanities month; Poetry Out Loud; a list of grants awarded in various categories; and the WAC calender on the back page.

For those of you already on the mailing list, you should be getting yours in the mail by the end of August. For those of you who'd like a hard copy, call us at 777-6393 and we'll get you on our mailing list.
