In recognition of challenging economic times, the Wyoming Arts Council is offering travel stipends to Wyoming artists, arts organization representatives and community leaders interested in attending the Arts Summit Sept. 24-25 at Little America in Cheyenne.
The Summit features sessions by renowned experts exploring linkages among the arts, government, community development, economic prosperity and business.
The WAC travel stipends, available on a first-come, first-served basis, will help defray costs associated with the conference. Cheyenne residents can receive reimbursement for their Arts summit Registration; residents outside Cheyenne but within a 50-mile radius can receive $150; and those living in Wyoming outside the 50-mile radius can receive $300. Please – only one request/representative per arts organization may receive a travel stipend.
In return, the Arts Council asks stipend recipients to attend all sessions and fill out an in-depth evaluation that will help the agency with its strategic planning for the future of the arts in Wyoming.
Postmark deadline for requests is Sept. 15. Please call the WAC at 307-777-7742 and ask for Linda Coatney if you’re representing an arts organization, government (local, state, federal), schools, college/university or business. Ask for Michael Shay or Linda Coatney if you’re an individual artist.
