CHEYENNE, Wyo. – May 11, 2026 – The Wyoming Arts Council is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations and individual teaching artists for the Creative Aging Project Grant.

The Creative Aging Project Grant supports the development and delivery of arts programs for older adults, ages 55 and older, in Wyoming communities. These programs promote social connection, lifelong learning, and creative expression through sequential, skills-based arts instruction.

Applicants may request funding to develop and implement one to four separate eight-week Creative Aging programs. Grants are awarded in increments of $2,500 for each eight-week program, with total funding ranging from $2,500 for one program up to $10,000 for four programs. The application deadline is June 22, 2026, and funded projects must be completed by June 30, 2027.

The Creative Aging Project Grant is part of the Wyoming Arts Council’s ongoing efforts to expand meaningful arts opportunities for older adults across the state. Funding supports both artists and organizations in creating arts education and community engagement programs for Wyoming’s aging population.

“The Wyoming Arts Council is committed to providing meaningful arts education opportunities for older adults through the Creative Aging Project Grant,” said Josh Chrysler of the Wyoming Arts Council. “We encourage anyone interested to reach out with questions about the program or application process.”
