Wyoming Arts Council/Wyoming Folklife Collection
The Wyoming Arts Council is accepting applications for Folk & Traditional Arts Mentoring project grants, for the fiscal year 2022.
The goal of the Folk & Traditional Arts Program is to identify, preserve, and honor folk and traditional arts throughout the state. Joshua Chrysler, who is a Folklorist and Health & Wellness Specialist at the Wyoming Arts Council, said a classic Wyoming is the large ranching community present in the state. And there are a lot of traditional art forms associated with ranching: saddle making, leather carving, horsehair hitching, all of these are traditional art forms that are important to the communities from which they grow out of, said Chrysler.
