Western Visions® 2022
September 10, 2022 - October 2, 2022
Top contemporary wildlife artists and collectors from around the world will come together at the Museum for the annual Western Visions Art Show + Sale. The show features a wide selection of art for sale and the money raised from this fundraiser supports the Museum. The week’s events, offered at the Museum’s award-winning facility across from the National Elk Refuge, draw an international crowd to this critically acclaimed gathering. During Fall Arts Festival (and year-round), the Museum is a hub for art lovers, wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts, and more. This year’s sale includes over 170 artists, with nearly 140 in the small format, intent to purchase sale, and 30+ artists in the live auction. The Western Visions exhibition will be on view from September 10 through October 2. The live show + sale will take place on Thursday, September 15.

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.
