Description
The Wyoming Arts Council’s Community Support Grant supports organizations that serve their communities through the arts. It provides general operating and/or project support alongside arts learning funding, with the goal of strengthening accessible, high-quality arts programming and infrastructure across Wyoming. Operating support helps sustain programs and services, while project support can cover new or existing initiatives, individual events, or regular-season activities.
Arts learning support funds activities that increase knowledge, understanding, and skills in one or more art forms, including community and school programming, artist-led learning, and curriculum development. Projects may include multiple activities and any phase from planning through implementation. Both funding components are competitive, with awards determined through panel review, board approval, and a formula based on scores and available funds.
