"Established to broaden and deepen the creative art experience of the people of Wyoming."
The association is committed to education and to preserving Wyoming's art tradition — a tradition that literally shaped America's perception of the West through paintings, drawings, and illustration before photography existed.
It all began when PWA projects established art galleries in 10 Wyoming towns and individual art groups formed. We called ourselves the Wyoming Artists' Association and held a convention on Casper Mountain in May 1940.
The PWA projects collapsed during WWII, but rising from the ashes the first official WAA Convention was held in Rock Springs, May 1955. Our convention has been held beginning of May ever since.
