A portion of the posters were designed to promote the National Park Service and the nation’s diverse array of magnificent parks. This exhibit will feature a selection of original vintage National Park posters, supplemented by modern reproductions. Complementing the vintage national park posters, Open Studio provides an all ages art making space related to summer exhibits which encourages visitors to explore new materials and ideas.

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.”
