Pistils and Petals: Wyoming’s Polli-Nation
December 17, 2022 - February 12, 2023Exhibition open December 17, 2022 – February 12, 2023
More than 80 percent of the world’s flowering plants need a pollinator to reproduce and survive. This year the student-curated project presented by art students at Jackson Hole High School focuses on local wildlife and pollination. The students working on this project wanted to spotlight the theme of pollinators vs pollinated all across Wyoming. “We believe that pollination is a crucial part of the many vibrant ecosystems here in Wyoming, without the help of our pollinators, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the beauties of a diverse Wyoming,” the student curators Bella DiPaola, Madeleine Moore, Maggie Hofmann, and Zoe Joralemon wrote.
The National Museum of Wildlife Art is dedicated to displaying student art in a professional setting, and we are proud to partner with young artists from Jackson Hole High School on this exhibit.

Transformations: Wildlife in Inuit Art and Culture
Through May 5, 2024Through cultural stories, Transformations seeks to explore Inuit history, values, and beliefs. The exhibit is comprised of works from the permanent collection and items on loan from private collections. The hope, as it is with all exhibits, is that visitors take away a deeper appreciation of the artwork and perhaps are introduced to something that they did not know before. Most importantly, we want to bring attention to the fact that today Inuit artists are producing powerful artworks that reference histories and that, at the same time, confront contemporary issues such as conservation and environmental concerns.
