WORKS OF WYOMING
Works of Wyoming (WOW), a project of the Wyoming Women’s Business Center, was created for Wyoming artists to increase their business knowledge as well as enhance their visibility. WOW was created to encourage Wyoming artists with networking, training and workshops, and artist community building.
WOW is so much more than just a retail store. WOW provides a staffed, retail space, open 6 days a week and special events. Our goal is to support and promote Wyoming Artists on a continual basis, and to provide a go-to place for locals, tourists, and visitors to shop small and shop local by purchasing quality, unique gifts, and home decor.
MEET OUR ARTISTS
WOW is currently host to over 50 Wyoming Artists, living across our state. Artist’s works are accepted through an application process and approval by a jury board. Wyoming’s romance, wildlife, landscapes, big skies and open plains, are created by our Artists and purchased by visitors as memories or their visits, or their past experiences spent in Wyoming, to share with family and friends.
