CASPER, Wyo. — The Nicolaysen Art Museum is hosting a free arts and culture listening session in support of the state’s creative economy.
That’s according to a release from the Wyoming Arts Alliance, which states that the luncheon is taking place on May 30.
“The Wyoming Arts Alliance (WyAA) is conducting a large-scale data roundup project to learn more about the scope and impact of Wyoming’s Creative economy,” the release states. “One of the most important parts of this process is hearing directly from artists, arts organizations, arts educators and cultural institutions about the successes, dreams, challenges and partnership opportunities. This conversation is most fruitful when it extends beyond those who work directly in the art and culture sector to those who engage in the events, services, and products of the creative economy. As such, WyAA is encouraging our elected officials and those who work in business and economic development to attend.”
Residents can join the conversation on Friday, May 30 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the NIC. This is a free event that is open to the public. Those who register will receive materials and a detailed agenda one week in advance via email.
