Apply Now for WAC Roster

The Wyoming Arts Council (WAC) has just opened up the roster application process for in-state artists. Postmark deadline is March 30. Applications will be sent out early next week to mailing lists in folk arts, literature, performing arts, and visual arts categories. You can also print the application and guidelines pages by going to the WAC web site after Feb. 15.

WAC welcomes new roster applicants each spring. The applications are reviewed by a peer panel in April and the WAC board makes the final decisions at their quarterly meeting in May. Those accepted for the roster are included in the WAC web site and in the printed ongoing grants book for the new fiscal year which begins July 1. Organizations applying for Arts Across Wyoming (our most popular grant category) must use a roster artist.

Once accepted to the roster, artists will remain on it until 2011.

This year, the WAC roster features 39 individuals and groups. The staff would love to double that number. It's a real plus for artists, as we post their information, including audio and visual clips, for as long as they stay on the roster. A great way to promote yourself, especially if you don't yet have a web page.

E-mail me for more info. Or call the WAC in Cheyenne at 307-777-7742.
