CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming artists looking to have their work displayed at the Wyoming State Capitol, now’s your chance.
The Governor’s Capitol Art Exhibition call for entries is now open through Nov. 18. There is no fee to enter, and entry is open to all artists currently living in Wyoming. Applications may be submitted at https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=12485.
The Governor’s Capitol Art Exhibition is a biennial juried exhibit that celebrates the work of Wyoming artists. The exhibition was established in 2000 under an initiative by then-Gov. Jim Geringer and is organized by the Wyoming State Museum and the Wyoming Arts Council.
This exhibition is the primary avenue for the state museum to acquire modern Wyoming art for its Capitol and permanent collections, a news release states. The art for the Capitol collection is selected by the state’s five elected officials and representatives from other state agencies while the museum’s curators select purchase awards for the museum’s permanent art collection. All other artwork in the exhibition is available for sale to the general public.
The juried exhibition will be on display from Feb. 9 through Aug. 10, 2024, at the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne. This year’s juror is Terri Porta from Billings, Montana.
