More Arts Program
Professional Development and Collaboration Tools for Wyoming Communities
The More Arts Program (MAP) is WyAA’s Professional Development Toolbox for Communities
MAP is a professional development program created to address the community and cultural leadership training needs of Wyoming communities. This training program is seen by WyAA as critical to building a stronger consortium of voices in support of the arts as key components in community development and in enhancing a statewide creative economy.
Participation in the MAP is through a community-sponsored application process. Wyoming communities accepted into the MAP receive the training at NO COST.
Through the MAP, workshops are tailor-made for a community’s training needs, including seminars on:
- creating collaborations and partnerships between community and cultural leaders
- improving board and volunteer function
- fundraising strategies
- reaching your community vision
- advocacy, promotion, & marketing
In 2020, Rock Springs, Gillette and Powell completed the program. Applications for the 2021 program are now closed and the 2021 communities have been announced:
- Casper
- Laramie
- Sheridan
- Lander
- Rawlins
- Cheyenne
The MAP program is supported through grants from the Wyoming Arts Council, Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund and the Wyoming Community Foundation. For more information, contact:
