State of the Art: Student Art Show

February 16, 2021 - May 9, 2021

This youth art exhibition is a collaboration between the Museum and the local art educators in Teton County. The goal of this exhibit is to engage children with art on a higher level and demonstrate the sequential skills students learn through their school art programs. The exhibition features more than 300 works of art by K – 12 students from 14+ local schools. Students are then invited to bring their families to the Museum to enjoy the collaborative art show.

Los cientos de piezas de arte en exhibición demuestran maravillosamente cómo los estudiantes evolucionan y crecen como artistas, a medida que avanzan en los grados K-12. Cada educador de arte interpretó el tema Elementos a su manera. ¡La diversidad de los medios y el enfoque artístico muestran la creatividad de nuestros estudiantes y la calidad de la educación artística en el condado de Teton!

Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River

Through May 4, 2025

Artist Tony Foster became fascinated with the 50-million-year-old Green River fossilized fish when he first saw them in 1985. It was from these small special objects that he comprised the idea to make a group of artworks about the Green River. He began his project in 2018, creating a major painting of Steamboat Rock and the horseshoe bend from his vantage point up a 400 foot cliff. In the summer of 2019 he took a rafting trip from the Gates of Lodore to Split Rock, creating five smaller paintings en route. From these initial works he created this exhibition about, in Foster’s words: “this magnificent river.”
