The public is welcome to attend these meetings to observe the panel process, but will not be allowed to take part in the grant discussions. Comments on the process may be given to WAC staff members, who will present them to the WAC Board at its June 5-6 gathering in Saratoga. At that meeting, the board will make final decisions on the FY15 GTO and AE grants as well as determine awards for Operating Support grants. The WAC Board meeting will also be open to the public.
The mission of the Wyoming Arts Council is to provide leadership and invest resources to sustain, promote and cultivate excellence in 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.
