Jackson Hole stands proudly as the Western Art Capital of the World—a title earned through its extraordinary concentration of art galleries, the presence of the iconic National Museum of Wildlife Art, and the exceptional quality of work that flows through its studios, auctions, and exhibitions year-round. Nestled beneath the Tetons, Jackson is where creativity meets legacy, and where art inspired by the wild American West is celebrated on a world stage.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a curious explorer, Jackson Hole offers an immersive and unforgettable experience where art and the West converge in breathtaking harmony.
A World-Class Art Community
Home to more than 25 galleries, Jackson Hole boasts one of the highest per capita concentrations of fine art spaces in the country. These galleries showcase everything from traditional Western painting and Native American art to contemporary sculpture, blown glass, and wildlife photography. What sets Jackson apart is not just the quantity—but the exceptional quality of the works on display.

The community features:
-
Bold contemporary and wildlife-inspired work at Gallery Wild and Altamira Fine Art.
-
Historical and museum-grade pieces at Astoria Fine Art and Mountain Trails Gallery.
-
Renowned local voices like Carrie Wild, Amy Ringholz, and Kathryn Mapes Turner, whose work reflects a deep, personal connection to the region.
-
Nationally significant institutions like the National Museum of Wildlife Art, which houses over 5,000 works from legends such as Albert Bierstadt, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Carl Rungius.
Whether in downtown Jackson, the surrounding scenic outskirts, or the banks of the National Elk Refuge, each gallery and institution offers a unique lens into the soul of the American West.
