About This Program

Through a generous partnership with the CDC Foundation, the Wyoming Arts Council (WAC) is partnering with four Wyoming-based artists to create original artwork with the theme of encouraging COVID-19 vaccine confidence across the state. The artists were selected by a review committee after applying to an open call.

The work features the artists’ own lived-experiences with COVID-19, including illness, family member illness, loss of family members or community members, receiving the vaccine, and more. The artists are telling personal pandemic stories, with the goal of encouraging others to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or booster.

Funding for this effort is made possible through a subaward from the CDC Foundation and is part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) financial assistance award totaling $2,500,000.00 with 100 percent funding from CDC/HHS. The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement by, CDC/HHS or the U.S. Government.

The mission of the Wyoming Arts Council is to provide leadership and invest resources to champion, sustain, and cultivate community through the arts. WAC’s Health & Wellness Through the Arts program builds awareness of the connections between participation in the arts and the overall health and wellness of Wyoming residents.
