The winter 2017 issue features stories on the four 2016 Governor’s Arts Awards recipients, a profile of a gilder/painter duo, a couple of handy guides for public art & placemaking, and previews of new programs at the Wyoming Arts Council.
Next issue is due out in spring of 2017.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2014, there were 11,451 jobs devoted to our state’s creative sector, which is 30% above the national average and second only to New York.
The Arts contributed $763.6 billion to the U.S. economy in 2015, 4.2 percent of GDP and counted 4.9 million workers, who earned $372 billion in total compensation.
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.
