Exhibition open March 15 – May 4, 2025
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 Reflection 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.
Reflection is a word with many meanings. We can think of reflection on the surface of water or in a mirror, a consequence that arises from something else, serious thought or consideration, or an idea about something. Reflection is a helpful tool and can be used to make meaning. It is a practice, similar to an art practice, to dig deeper, see different perspectives, and come to a new understanding. Artists in this show use an array of art media to create unique and thoughtful works of art.

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.”
