Public Awareness Committee Consistently Promoting Wyoming Architecture BY ANTHONY JACOBSEN, AIA Over the past decade, the Public Awareness Committee has consistently sought to bring awareness to the public and promote architecture throughout Wyoming. We help educate the public regarding the great projects and the impact this profession has on everyone’s life. Our committee is dedicated to promoting architecture — specifically Wyoming architecture — by engaging with the public and membership in multiple ways to keep everyone informed and educated, while also strengthening our relationships with industry partners. The Wyoming Architecture publication is a staple for AIA Wyoming and plays a crucial role in raising awareness of important projects and the architects who bring them to life. We are very grateful to everyone who provides information that goes into this publication, and we look forward to continuing to develop this valuable resource that benefits all Wyoming architects. We are particularly excited to continue spotlighting architects who have extensive experience in both architecture and life. These interviews provide a wealth of knowledge and fascinating insights into the architects’ contributions to society and the lessons they have learned. Don’t miss the spotlight articles in this year’s publication! You can explore spotlight articles from previous AIA Wyoming publications online at www.aia-wyoming.org. The 2026 calendar has been printed and is now available. Please contact the Public Awareness Committee to obtain a copy or request multiple copies for distribution or sharing. As always, the images in the calendar feature architectural projects from across the state designed by AIA Wyoming architects. Next year, we plan to invite the public to participate in voting for calendar images through social media. For more information on AIA Wyoming calendars, refer to page 43 of this publication or contact info@aia-wyoming.org. Our AIA Wyoming Instagram account is a valuable resource for staying up-to-date with Wyoming’s architectural projects and discovering the possibilities this great state has to offer. Be sure to follow along (and invite colleagues and other interested professionals to follow too) for award announcements, previous calendar entries and submissions, and more at www.instagram.com/aiawyoming (@aiawyoming). We cross-post content from our Instagram account to our Facebook page (and vice versa), so you can follow along on either platform. National Architecture Week will be celebrated April 12-18, 2026, and the Public Awareness Committee plans to extend the celebration throughout the month. AIA Wyoming will be holding its Spring Conference in April and will be inviting the public to join us on our project tours to celebrate the occasion. The Public Awareness Committee continues to inform the public about the great community of architects in Wyoming and their impact on all our lives. One of our committee members, Andrea Haro, moved out of state this year, and we are grateful for all the work she did on the calendar and for her service to the committee. We’re looking for an additional member to fill the opening on our committee. We are always open to new ideas and volunteers who can help us promote awareness of the profession through AIA Wyoming, and we look forward to expanding our outreach in 2026. Committee Members: Anthony Jacobsen, AIA, Chair Lyle Murtha, AIA Ellen Martin, Assoc. AIA Tim Schenk, AIA 11
