This summer Wyoming artists have an exciting opportunity to engage with the state’s many great parks and historic sites!
Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources is offering any Wyoming visual artist, of any age, working in any medium, the chance to submit an original piece of art for consideration in one of four categories: Professional Adult Artists, Amateur Adult Artists, Student Artists Grades K-8 and Student Artists Grades 9-12. Three awards will be given in each category, and the twelve winning works will be featured in a commemorative calendar and in an exhibition at the Wyoming State Museum.
Those interested should submit a notification of intent form (included in the brochure) to:
Christie Christensen

  • Notification of Intent forms should be submitted before the end of August
  • Official Entry Forms and Image CDs are due by September 20, 2012

WAC Accessibility Statement

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
