Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival

Considered by many to be THE premier cultural event in the area, the 2008 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival will be held September 4-21.  This event not only showcases spectacular pieces from local artisans, but also draws international artists to beautiful Jackson Hole, WY.  Throughout this 18 day event, you will experience visual, culinary, contemporary, Native American, wildlife and landscape arts.  In addition to the art exhibits, you will be able to enjoy music, food, drinks and even cowboy poetry.  There will also be dozens of workshops, receptions for some of the artists featured at the festival, gallery walks and so much more.  One of the main showcases at the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is the "Taste of the Tetons", where visitors get to experience the best of Jackson's food, wine and desserts.  The QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction pits 30 artists against each other in a drawing duel while spectators watch them create original works of art right before their eyes.  There is even a special Western Design Conference that exhibits the latest in western furniture, accessories and clothing.  With more than 50 events being held throughout the festival, you are sure to find something that fits your tastes.  For more information and a schedule of events, please visit the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce's calendar of events.
