Pistils and Petals: Wyoming’s Polli-Nation
December 17, 2022 - February 12, 2023
Exhibition 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.

Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River
Through May 4, 2025Artist Tony Foster became fascinated with the 50-million-year-old Green River fossilized fish when he first saw them in 1985. It was from these small special objects that he comprised the idea to make a group of artworks about the Green River. He began his project in 2018, creating a major painting of Steamboat Rock and the horseshoe bend from his vantage point up a 400 foot cliff. In the summer of 2019 he took a rafting trip from the Gates of Lodore to Split Rock, creating five smaller paintings en route. From these initial works he created this exhibition about, in Foster’s words: “this magnificent river.”
