The Wyoming Arts Council’s Biennial Fellowship Exhibition showcases the exceptional works created by Wyoming artists who were selected as Visual Arts Fellowship recipients. The exhibition is hosted every two years at major arts venues around the state.

The artists in this year’s Biennial Fellowship Exhibition are:

Each year, the Wyoming Arts Council (WAC) awards nearly 150 grants and fellowships, serving every county and reaching more than one million people across the state. This includes approximately 1.1 million adults, 200,000 youth, and 10,000 artists who benefit from arts funding in their communities. From local murals and school arts programs to community theater productions, WAC-supported projects help make Wyoming a vibrant place to live, work, and create.”
