The board invites individuals and organizational representatives to attend any part of the meeting to observe the board process, and to address the board during the public comment session beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 30. Comments are welcomed about the agency’s policies, funding priorities, on-line granting system and other arts-related topics.

The University of Wyoming Art Museum will host a free public reception from 5-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 30. Come out and meet the WAC board, enjoy some refreshments and view the exhibits in the galleries.
After the meeting concludes on Friday, some board members and staff will remain for the Ark Regional Services’ Cooper Center for the Creative Arts 7:30 p.m. presentation of “The Imaginary Invalid,” a comedy by Moliere. The production was funded in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council.
The mission of the Wyoming Arts Council is to enhance the quality of life for the people of Wyoming by providing resources to sustain, promote and cultivate the arts.
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.
