Summertime is when we unveil projects that we’ve nurtured for months. We are excited to share fresh art with you!

Take a peek at several new JH Public Art exhibits and happenings that are running in these warm, sunny months.

Presenting, LandSignals: a community-wide exhibit to envision a future that more authentically includes Indigenous voices and traditional ecological knowledge to help us better steward the natural resources and cultural heritage of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Four, contemporary Indigenous artists have been commissioned to display public art works at the new Jackson Hole History Museum, Center for the Arts, Russ Garaman Park, and the Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center at the National Elk Refuge.

Rachel Olivia Berg’s, Listening to Inyan, centers the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) and Indigenous perspectives on ecological stewardship. Berg’s site-specific, threedimensional exhibition at Center for the Arts explores humankind’s relationship to the changing landscape.

Marlena Myles’ augmented reality installation in Russ Garaman Park opens in July.

Pretty Shield Foundation returns at The Center Park with Lighting of the Teepees from October 23-30, 2024.

Join us for a free community celebration of collaboration and unity at dusk on October 28, 2024

Discover the Miller Park Mobility Hub Mural

Local artist Maria Sengle installed an asphalt art mural at the new Miller Mobility Hub in downtown Jackson. Sponsored by the JH Travel & Tourism Board, this project is designed to increase pedestrian safety and to create a hub where people can access alternative transportation.

Ride Into the Sunset at the Fairgrounds

In May, we welcomed Dan Toro’s mural, Out West, to the Teton County Fairgrounds. His mural is a portal into a western movie-like scene that invites the viewer to tell their own story about the rider and the cattle. Toro’s expert use of paint and spray paint create a romanticized view of a ranch scene under the mountains.

Skate & Create

Skate professional Sebo Walker held a spring workshop with local skaters to design a new mural for the South 89 Underpass. Attendees of Carving the Future’s summer skate and create camp will help paint the mural. Look for this newly installed artwork in July!
