This bilingual (English-Spanish) exhibit is a collaboration between the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson Hole community members, and regional artists. The cold, wind-blown Alpine biome is a harrowing home to a stunning diversity of life. Flora and fauna that exist above the tree line have unique adaptations that allow them to thrive in this dynamic environment that few humans experience. Juried works from regional artists and art from local K-12 students in addition to the episode of the Museum’s Bisoncast Video series Above the Clouds, will bring the alpine to museum visitors.
