State of the Art: Student Art Show in Honor of Marion Buchenroth
March 15, 2025 - May 4, 2025
Exhibition open March 15 – May 4, 2025
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 Reflection 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.
Reflection is a word with many meanings. We can think of reflection on the surface of water or in a mirror, a consequence that arises from something else, serious thought or consideration, or an idea about something. Reflection is a helpful tool and can be used to make meaning. It is a practice, similar to an art practice, to dig deeper, see different perspectives, and come to a new understanding. Artists in this show use an array of art media to create unique and thoughtful works of art.

Staff Picks
Through May 10, 2026Curating 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, 2026This 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?
