“CREATIVE AGING TRAINING AND GRANTS FOR WYOMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS”

As part of the “Creative Aging Training and Grants for Wyoming Arts Organizations” initiative, the Wyoming Arts Council will expand the capacity of the council’s current creative aging programming with the inclusion of nonprofit arts organizations in an effort to bolster the long-term viability of Wyoming communities’ ongoing creative aging programs, and develop partnerships between local arts nonprofits, libraries, artists and aging communities. 

Professional development and program implementation support

In September 2021, Lifetime Arts will train nonprofit arts organizations across the state in best practices in planning, designing, promoting, implementing, evaluating, and sustaining successful creative aging programming.
