Urban Wildlife: Learning to Co+Exist
October 10, 2020 - January 9, 2021
This exhibition is produced by Creature Conserve and featuring new works by Wyoming artists. The mixed-media exhibition explores the lives of wild animals in urban areas and the human responses to this shared territory.
Artists explored the biology of an animal, its urban ecology, and the many ways it interacts with humans, either via independent research or via collaboration with scientists working in related fields. The ultimate goal is to find new ways to encourage the viewing public to take an active role in healthy co-existence with urban wildlife and their habitats.
This exhibition is timely and important – noticing that continued urban sprawl creates new homes for some animals while displacing others. The expansion of our cities and towns often results in negative human-wildlife conflict. Science can provide us with guidelines for how to live in balance with urban animals. For example, if we understand coyote behavior – they follow food sources – we can avoid problems. But we need the motivation to apply these solutions to our daily lives.

Transformations: Wildlife in Inuit Art and Culture
Through May 5, 2024Through cultural stories, Transformations seeks to explore Inuit history, values, and beliefs. The exhibit is comprised of works from the permanent collection and items on loan from private collections. The hope, as it is with all exhibits, is that visitors take away a deeper appreciation of the artwork and perhaps are introduced to something that they did not know before. Most importantly, we want to bring attention to the fact that today Inuit artists are producing powerful artworks that reference histories and that, at the same time, confront contemporary issues such as conservation and environmental concerns.
