✨ This is why WyADI exists. ✨

Watch this video and look beyond the performances.

Look at the conversations.
Look at the smiles.
Look at strangers becoming a community through a shared experience.

Ripple Effect wasn't just a film screening. It was an evening where artists and community members came together to learn, create, perform, ask questions, and leave inspired. For a few hours, we were reminded that the arts have the power to connect us in ways few things can.

This is the ripple effect of investing in creativity.

When we support artists, we create places where people want to live, raise families, start businesses, and belong. We strengthen our communities, inspire the next generation, and remind each other what it means to be human.

❤️ Tomorrow is WyoGives.

Together, we're building a Wyoming where creativity isn't an afterthought...it's part of what makes our communities extraordinary.

Thank you again to DarkMen Media and Point 7 Collective for capturing the evening and making a beautiful highlight reel for us to share.

The arts bring people together. They create places where people want to live, raise their families, start businesses, and build lasting connections. A thriving creative community attracts new residents, strengthens local economies, and makes Wyoming a place we're proud to call home.

That's why WyADI exists.

Your donation helps us provide professional development for artists, create meaningful arts experiences, and invest in the creative leaders who make our communities stronger.

✨ A rare opportunity for artists & makers in our region ✨

We are honored to host Barrie Lynn Bryant for a 2-day, hands-on workshop in real gold gilding right here in Afton.

Whether you’re a painter, woodworker, framer, or multidisciplinary artist, this workshop is designed to expand your practice with professional-level techniques.

📍 Banbury Customs Makerspace
📅 May 22 (6–9 PM) & May 23 (9 AM–4 PM)
💰 $250 (materials included – yes, real gold!)
