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.
Generously sponsored by the Lea Charitable Trust.

Staff Picks
Through May 10, 2026Curating this exhibit has been an exercise in collaboration, which is one of our core values at the Museum. We began by asking each staff member to make a short list of some of their favorite works in the collection. Then, the curatorial team took them to see a few of those pieces. We asked the staff to look for artworks that were not already on display and would not be part of any upcoming exhibitions. A person’s taste in art is so uniquely personal and individual to who they are. This exhibition is not only an opportunity for you to get to know our staff, but it is also a chance to discover new pieces in the permanent collection—or perhaps to see old favorites in a new light.

Two of a Kind?
Through April 26, 2026This exhibition is an exercise in comparison. It invites visitors to consider pairs of artworks, drawn primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection, and contemplate the question posed by its title: are these artworks truly Two of a Kind?
