State of the Art: Student Art Show

February 16, 2021 - May 9, 2021

This youth art exhibition is a collaboration between the Museum and the local art educators in Teton County. The goal of this exhibit is to engage children with art on a higher level and demonstrate the sequential skills students learn through their school art programs. The exhibition features more than 300 works of art by K – 12 students from 14+ local schools. Students are then invited to bring their families to the Museum to enjoy the collaborative art show.

ESTADO DEL ARTE:

Esta exposición de arte juvenil es una colaboración anual entre el Museo Nacional de Arte de Vida Silvestre y los educadores de arte de nuestras escuelas locales. Los cientos de piezas de arte en exhibición demuestran maravillosamente cómo los estudiantes evolucionan y crecen como artistas, a medida que avanzan en los grados K-12. Cada educador de arte interpretó el tema Elementos a su manera. ¡La diversidad de los medios y el enfoque artístico muestran la creatividad de nuestros estudiantes y la calidad de la educación artística en el condado de Teton!

Staff Picks

Through May 10, 2026

Curating 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, 2026

This 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?
