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

February 25, 2023 - June 4, 2023
Exhibition open February 25 – June 4, 2023

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 Transformation 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!

Transformation is an ongoing and continuous process of change. It can be biological, physical, mental, and spiritual. It reminds us that life can be richer when we embrace the changes that come our way, promoting growth, and showing us the path to how we can truly transform. Bringing us closer to who we truly are and can be. Enjoy this unique exhibit and we hope you explore the many ways in which people and the world around us embrace transformation.

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?
