Our January 2008 event will pay tribute to Buck Ramsey, who profoundly influenced the writing and music of contemporary Western performers. Buck’s widow, Bette, will be in attendance as we honor his life, outstanding achievements and contributions to the art of cowboy poetry.”

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.
