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 9 through October 1. The live show + sale will take place on Thursday, September 14.

Full Circle: An Exhibition of Community Creation, Curation, and Collaboration

Through September 29, 2024

This exhibition invites the community to be inspired by or re-interpret one of four works from NMWA’s permanent collection. Not only will the exhibition be comprised of works created by community members–it will also be curated by the community. The pieces selected from the submissions by a team of community curators will be displayed in the Wapiti Gallery alongside the inspiration prompt pieces from the permanent collection during the summer and fall of 2024.
