Portrait of a Community: 2025 Members' Exhibition

Portrait of a Community: 2026 Members’ Exhibition

On display: August 10 - October 2, 2026

Art Association Members are invited to submit artwork for our annual exhibition—a celebration of member creativity.  This year’s theme, Portrait of a Community, welcomes work in any medium that explores what “community” means in Jackson Hole. 

We encourage interpretations that go beyond the literal. A community “portrait” isn’t one face—it’s a chorus. This exhibition treats Jackson Hole as a living subject and asks: What does “local” look like, feel like, and sound like? We hope to include a dynamic mix of traditional portraiture alongside objects, maps, audio, and participatory pieces—so visitors leave with a layered understanding of place. 

Consider how your work brings a concept, a moment, a memory, a scene, or imagination into Jackson—for yourself and/or the viewer. Artist statements will be displayed with the work to deepen the visitor experience. We can’t wait to see what you create. 

Requirements

• Participating artists must have a current Art Association membership during the exhibition dates.
• Artists may submit up to three (3) pieces for consideration. There are no size restrictions.

• All artists must submit an artist statement explaining how the work relates to the theme, Portrait of a Community.
