Veterans Reintegration Fairs will be held on weekends in conjunction with scheduled Guard drills, around Wyoming during June. The fairs are open to veterans of all ages and branches of the military service. The primary focus is on the Wyoming National Guard and Air Guard Veterans who recently returned for service in Afghanistan and Iraq. Family members are encouraged to attend and become acquainted with the many benefits and services available. For more information on a Veteran’s Fair held in your area, contact the Wyoming Veterans Commission at 1-866-922-7641.
Returning Wyoming veterans interested in getting involved with the arts, whether as an individual artist or through a local arts organization, can contact the Wyoming Arts Council for info at 307-777-7742. Check out the new WAC web site at http://www.wyomingartscouncil.org/. Veterans with arts-related blogs or web sites can send links to mshay@state.wy.us and we’ll put the link on this blog.
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.
