This event has passed.

Join the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Creature Conserve, and Wyoming Outdoor Council for a FREE in-person conversation with several exhibiting artists from Re-Imagining Conservation: From Many Viewpoints. This conversation is a space of open dialogue between artists and conservation professionals in the Grand Teton area and beyond to share about the creatures, issues, and research currently inspiring their artwork. The conversation (and the exhibition that has inspired it) is rooted in a belief that successful and sustainable conservation necessitates the presence of many voices and many viewpoints.

Doors open at 5 p.m. for exhibit viewing and mingling. The panel discussion begins at 6 p.m.
