CALL FOR ROSTER ARTISTS: It’s time to apply for the Wyoming Arts Council Artist Rosters. This annual process was on hiatus last year as we took time out to reevaluate the program, including the application process. One major change: you can apply in the categories of Tumblewords and/or Arts Across Wyoming but not in Arts In Education (AIE). WAC no longer will have an AIE roster (this also shortens the application). Another change: All artists must apply this year, including those already on the roster. A nuisance, I know, but the approval process has been changed and, in the interest of fair play, everyone needs to meet the same standards. However, once you’re on the roster, you only have to reapply every five years. And, for the first time, folk artists will be able to apply in their own category. The applications were mailed Feb. 10. If you’re a WYO artist and don’t receive one by the end of the month, please e-mail me and I’ll put one in the mail. Postmark deadline is April 15.
