Outdoor Exhibits:
GlowNights: Dandelion
Co-presented by Public Art and the Center, the Electric Dandelions rise 25 feet above the landscape.
Created by Liquid PXL, a Los Angeles art collective, the sculpture uses LED lights to cascade twinkling
colors high above the ground.By day, these towering structures, crafted from sturdy steel, translucent polycarbonate, and vibrant LEDs, captivate with their representation of a dandelion in full bloom.
As the sun sets, they transform into a breathtaking spectacle. This mesmerizing installation will be on full display from December 2023 to February 2024.
Finders Keepers by Patrick Dougherty
Patrick Dougherty, an internationally-renowned sculptor, created a custom piece of willow sculpture called Finders Keepers in the summer of 2022.
Patrick works with local volunteers to construct his sculptures and encourages hands-on participation. His final sculpture will last multiple years and will be gradually worn away by the season’s effects on the natural elements.
Finders Keepers by Patrick Dougherty was produced by Center for the Arts with project management services provided by Jackson Hole Public Art, and Art Education provided by the Art Association of Jackson Hole.
Earthrise by Ben Roth
Artist Statement:
It is interesting creating art in the time of COVID 19. I tend to sculpt things with an optimist bent but have found such feelings more allusive lately. The place where I still see and feel hope is in nature, especially in the morning as a new day is beginning. The cyclical patterns of birth and death and growth and decomposition that I see in nature have a steadying force on my outlook toward the future. The rising of the sun and flow of the river are predictable and comforting. They are a reminder that time marches on and that the only constant is change. The form of Earthrise is created with cross-cut sections of dead tree trunks from a local ranch. Earthrise can be contemplated from the deck above the courtyard or experienced individually within the Center.
Abuzz by Suzanne Morlock
Suzanne Morlock worked with members of the Community Entry Services program to build this piece from inner tubes, recycled local non-profit vinyl banners, acrylic paint, and air.
