The arts speak of our spirits, telling our present to the future. The arts are for everyone, and my mission is to break down barriers between the arts and those wishing to explore and enjoy them! Jackson Hole Art Tours aims to open Jackson Hole’s art galleries to everyone. A Jackson Hole Art Tour is a fun and easy way to learn quite a bit about our growing arts community in a short time.

For those of us who are not artists, collectors or art scholars, the arts can feel a bit out of reach, even a bit intimidating. That knowledge, combined with the great pleasure I take from the arts, has led me to create my gallery tours. The beauty of this place, Jackson Hole, inspires wonderful and eclectic art. Surprising as it may seem, Jackson boasts over 30 galleries, each with their own roster of artists.

In Jackson you will find traditional western landscapes, contemporary western art, photography—both traditional and cutting edge---sculpture, ceramics, glass, jewelry, encaustics, textiles and multi-media works.

The arts are also crucial in supporting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Artists have long endeavored to capture this magnificent region. Arts spark our imagination and help us towards an emotional experience critical to engaging our preservation of the parks.

I want to introduce you to our galleries and artists, and hope you will have fun discovering what Jackson’s art community has to offer. Throughout the year I keep in touch with gallery happenings and I pass that information on to you. I suspect you’ll delight in exploring our galleries, and make some great discoveries. My goal is to provide you with a great connection to our artists, which will make you a true Jackson Hole ‘art insider’ and inspire you to visit us again!

Join me, and let’s go see some art!
