LandSignals 2024
Jackson Hole Public Art is producing LandSignals 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. Indigenous artists have been commissioned to participate in this project and their work will be unveiled at the the Center for the Arts, Russ Garaman Park, the new Jackson Hole History Museum, and the Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center at the Elk Refuge.
