State of the Art: Student Art Show in Honor of Marion Buchenroth
March 18, 2026 - May 21, 2026
Exhibition open March 18 – May 21, 2026
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 Connections 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.
Connections is an exciting opportunity for a variety of student expressions. This theme allows for open-ended interpretation that reveals how differently we all think. It shows us what is important to one person, but also allows us to see things from different perspectives. One person may hear the word “tree” and think of elms, oaks, and cottonwoods, and the next may think of their family lineage. The way we each create meaning in our lives is revealed through these connections, and allows us to celebrate the diversity of life experiences that lead to unexpected links that challenge and surprise us.
