Dreams of the Forgotten Coral Kingdom

In the words of our students curators, Camille Bushnell, Mikey Klein, Shakynah Mach, and Ann Dallas Confer:

“Descend into an otherworldly ocean where reality blurs with imagination. Dreams of the Forgotten Coral Kingdom is an immersive art experience revealing the hidden wonders of marine life and the delicate ecosystems beneath the water. This year, we are collaborating with Jackson Hole High School’s art, ceramics, shop, and sculpture classes to celebrate what goes on beneath the surface. Did you know that some fish farm algae the same way humans farm crops? Damselfish tend to tiny underwater “gardens” and weed out unwanted algae species to keep their reefs healthy.

Our hope with this exhibit is to not only create a beautiful, surreal coral reef for viewers to step into, but also to inspire visitors to learn about the creatures that sustain our oceans and the vital roles they play in keeping ecosystems alive.”

This Museum is dedicated to exhibiting student artwork and amplifying young voices in our community. Thank you to the student curators and artists from Jackson Hole High School who made this exhibit possible.
