WyAEA joins everyone across our state in mourning the passing of Ann Simpson and celebrating a remarkable life devoted to the arts, education, and the people of Wyoming.

Ann Simpson believed that every Wyomingite should have access to the arts. Her vision helped make that belief a reality through the University of Wyoming Art Museum's Ann Simpson Artmobile, which has brought original artwork, hands-on learning, and meaningful arts experiences to students and communities across Wyoming for more than three decades. Her unwavering support of artists, educators, and creative opportunities has had a lasting impact on our state.

As art educators, we are deeply grateful for Ann's commitment to ensuring that the arts remain accessible, valued, and celebrated throughout Wyoming. Her legacy lives on in classrooms, museums, and communities, and in the countless students whose lives have been enriched through the power of art.

On behalf of the WyAEA Board and our members across Wyoming, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Ann's family, friends, colleagues, and all who were touched by her generosity, vision, and leadership. Her influence on arts education in Wyoming will be felt for generations to come.
