  • Shared Meeting with Important Information from WAC, WESTAF, WyAA, and ArtsNW

  • MORE NETWORKING!!

You don’t need to be an artist or a presenter to have a place at this conference – If you are interested in preserving and promoting the Arts in Wyoming and the surrounding areas; this is where you will want to start!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a true WyAA conference without the Performing Artist Showcases and Block Booking Meeting to round everything out.

Whether you’re an artist, educator, elected official, arts advocate, you belong to a school board or a nonprofit, or you’re just interested in learning more about current issues in the Arts world, come and join us for a conference filled with professional development, educational, and networking opportunities as we hear from artists and leaders around the state about what’s happening, and where the future of the Arts in Wyoming is headed.

Sponsorship Opportunities – Interested in sponsoring? Help promote your business, artist, agency or arts service industry at the WyAA conference this year!
