The Wyoming Arts Council is pleased to announce the 2025 Arts Summit, scheduled to take place in Casper, WY, on October 10. Held every two years, this statewide gathering offers a unique platform for artists, arts administrators, educators, and advocates to connect, learn, and explore Wyoming's diverse and vibrant arts landscape.
This year’s theme, Rooted & Ready: Laying the Groundwork for Creative Momentum, invites Wyoming’s cultural leaders and creative changemakers to come together for a day dedicated to building stronger foundations for the future. The Summit will explore how the arts can be deeply embedded in community wellbeing, accessibility, economic growth, and organizational sustainability.
Through inspiring keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and opportunities for meaningful exchange, attendees will engage with topics such as conflict resolution, digital accessibility, board development, strategic fundraising, and continuing to strengthening Wyoming’s creative economy. Highlights include a keynote on how to use the arts to foster community change, a health and arts film screening and discussion, and a closing activation session designed to help transform ideas into action.
The Summit also celebrates the state’s creative excellence with two special public events. Come early and join us on Thursday, October 9, for the 2025 Biennial Fellowship Exhibition Opening Reception at the Nicolaysen Art Museum from 6–8 p.m. Then, stick around on Saturday, October 11, for the 2025 Biennial Performing Arts Fellowship Showcase at The Rialto from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. These events are free and open to the public—don’t miss the chance to experience the incredible talent shaping Wyoming’s creative landscape.
Registration Cost:
We understand that attending events can be a financial stretch, and we want the Arts Summit to be accessible to everyone.

If a lower tier is a better fit for your budget, please choose the option that works best—no questions asked. And if even the lowest tier presents a barrier, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mandy at bWFuZHkgISBjb25uZWxsZXkgfCB3eW8gISBnb3Y=.
