With so much beauty and inspiration from Mother Nature, it’s no wonder Jackson Hole is known as the cultural arts center of the West. The National Museum of Wildlife Art features 12 galleries with over 2,000 permanent pieces of art from 2000 BC to the present. Collections represent artists in all genres including Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism and Modernism.

For over one hundred years, painters, photographers and sculptors have made Jackson Hole their home. For instance, Jonathan Andrew LaBenne (known as “Jonathan the Bear Man”) specializes in wood carvings, sculptures and relief art. Local Jackson Hole artist Scott Christensen is a leading plein air (outdoor) artist who captures the grandeur of the Wyoming outdoors and scenic locations throughout in the United States. Finding the perfect piece of art for any taste and budget is not difficult in Jackson Hole. Over 40 fine art galleries and trendy art shops offer a wide array of art ranging from the whimsical and wacky to priceless works by the masters.
