Tradition, Expression and Creation in Wyoming – Creative Opportunities in the New West
![](https://matr.net/wp-content/plugins/bb-plugin/img/pixel.png)
Sheridan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheridan_County,_Wyoming and Johnson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_County,_Wyoming counties represent the best of the West’s cowboy art and other
cultural traditions, But limiting local art to these forms would fail to capture the growing
strength and influence of the New West whose art and culture are influenced by the
area’s distinct environment—the Big Horn Mountains, the prairies, the wildlife, the
openness—and even isolation—that feeds the creative spirit.
The creative economy of Sheridan and Johnson Counties includes an estimated 1,123
people who earn their living from the creative content of what they produce, support
and/or sell.1 Based on the number employed or self-employed in the two counties, the
creative economy represents more than one in 20 people employed, which is higher
than manufacturing, and about one in 14 enterprises.
