January 26, 2019 - February 24, 2019

ManMadeBeastsTitleGraphic

This exhibit highlights the animals of the world and their growing encounters with humanity. Students’ compositions feature a thought-provoking interplay between wildlife and man-made environments.

This exhibit celebrates Jackson Hole High School student artists and provides a powerful experience for them to work together and present their art in a professional setting. To create this exhibit, a small group of student curators will conceive of a theme to present to over fifty of their peers who then create artwork based on that theme. This program promotes a student-centered learning agenda and offers local high school artists personal responsibility in generating a high quality, engaging product for museum visitors of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy.

Thank you to Jackson Hole High School Student Curators Kendyl Gersten, Lucy Kimmel, and Aspen Waldron.

This exhibition invites the community to be inspired by or re-interpret one of four works from NMWA’s permanent collection. Not only will the exhibition be comprised of works created by community members–it will also be curated by the community. The pieces selected from the submissions by a team of community curators will be displayed in the Wapiti Gallery alongside the inspiration prompt pieces from the permanent collection during the summer and fall of 2024.
