State of the Art: Student Art Show in Honor of Marion Buchenroth
February 24, 2024 - May 5, 2024
Exhibition open February 24 – May 5, 2024
This youth art exhibit is an annual collaboration between the National Museum of Wildlife Art and art educators from Teton County schools. The several hundred works of art on display beautifully demonstrate how students grow as artists as they move through grades K-12. Each art educator and group of students interpreted the theme Visual Poetry in their own way. The diversity of media and artistic approaches showcases the creativity of our students and the quality of art education in Teton County.
Visual poetry is a form of expression at the intersection of literature and visual art. It allows for exploration that engages multiple senses and deepens the meaning and experience of a poem or a picture. It can be graphic art made from words, words hidden within a painting, or movement expressing the rhythm of a poem. Artists and poets in this exhibit engage multiple disciplines to transcend the boundaries of visual arts and creative writing. Enjoy this unique exhibit and all the ways our K-12 artists are breaking the bounds of artistic expression.

Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River
Through May 4, 2025Artist 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.”
