State of the Art: Student Art Show in Honor of Marion Buchenroth

Through May 21, 2026

This youth art exhibit is an annual collaboration between the National Museum of Wildlife Art and art educators from Teton County schools. The several hundred works of art on display beautifully demonstrate how students grow as artists as they move through grades K-12. Each art educator and group of students interpreted the theme Connections in their own way. The diversity of media and artistic approaches showcases the creativity of our students and the quality of art education in Teton County.
