Music:
While Wyoming's lack of large cities may not seem conducive to concert-going, music does play a role in the entertainment scene of the state. Major acts and touring bands perform at large venues such as the Casper Events Center and the Cam-Plex Heritage Center. For a more intimate feel and performances mostly by regional musicians, visitors can check out bars and restaurants. Those interested in classical music will want to visit venues such as the Center for the Arts in Jackson.

Crafts:
Crafts in the Cowboy State provide visitors with a feel for life out on the range. Frontier crafts made popular by local artisans include jackalopes, originally created by taxidermist Douglas Herrick; quilts and textiles inspired by the hand-woven clothing settlers made out of necessity; and Native American beadwork and jewelry.

Wyoming's culinary style is influenced by past inhabitants, mixed with current trends and cooking styles. Foods that cowboys loved, like stews, chili, and lots of beef are still popular today, along with such dishes as bison burgers and elk.
