Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival Highlights

The Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is up and running once more! For valley residents, artists, gallery owners, and collectors from near and far, the Festival represents a seasonal return, full of celebration and inspiration. For ten days, a series of events welcomes members of the community into artistic spaces and brings art and cuisine–quite literally–into the streets. In addition, artisans and artists from across the creative spectrum maximize their opportunities to mingle with potential collectors, and collectors bid and buy work ranging from small sketches and miniatures to large paintings by world-renowned artists. It’s kind of a big deal.

At Homestead Magazine, we love community events that bring diverse community members out to toast the art in our own backyards. Here are some highlights and photos to get you excited for all the can’t-miss events happening from September 9-20! If you love architecture, interior design, and touring Jackson’s gorgeous neighborhoods, snap up tickets now for our own event, the Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes, which kicks off next weekend and provides an opportunity for intimate access to some of the valley’s most spectacular homes–plus the professionals who helped create them. (Sept 18 & 19, 11am-4pm, two-day self-guided tour)

We’ll see you at the Festival!

Mark Your July Calendars for “My Thin Place”

In our One Work blog post last autumn, we had the pleasure of speaking to Kathryn Mapes Turner regarding two of her large-scale paintings. We are now excited to spread the word about her upcoming show, “My Thin Place,” coming to Jackson this July. Kathryn very eloquently shares the impetus behind the show, and the concept of a “thin place” below. Read, enjoy, and be sure to catch the exhibition!

“Emergence of Fall”

A Thin Place
The title of this exhibition is derived from a Celtic term referring to a place where the boundary between the material world and the spiritual world is particularly thin. For Turner, the Greater Yellowstone Wilderness is a “thin place.”

Kathryn Turner had the good fortune of being born into a fourth generation ranching family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This ranch, located within what is now Grand Teton National Park, enjoys one of the most direct views of the Teton mountain range. Turner says, “Each day, for as long as I remember, I was greeted by those mountains. They are, in a very real way, a part of me. Early on, I felt the urge to find a way to express my passion for this ecosystem, and imagery became my lexicon for this song of appreciation. Ever since, I have devoted my craft to doing justice to the beauty of this landscape.

In belonging to a landscape in this way, I feel a rightness, an at-homeness where I am knitted to the world. This rootedness allows me to be present to what is- a practice the Buddhists refer to as mindfulness, and the contemplative Christians call recollection, and the Quakers call centering down. For me this experience is lived tactically where my nerve endings are bare against the land. As I take in the magnificence and scale of this landscape, I am moved beyond myself. I refer to the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem as my ‘thin place.’

This collection of paintings is about this relationship with the landscape. Rather than photo-realistic depictions, they are interpretations and impressions of what I experience when I am in the natural world. It is my hope that, for the viewer, the paintings are themselves a quiet meeting place between internal emotion and external stimuli, a meeting place of the material and non-material.”

Turner’s work has been recognized nationally by many top awards including “Best of Show” at the American Impressionist Society and the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Association. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Wyoming State Museum and the Charlie Russell Museum. SouthWest Art recognized Turner as “21 Young Artists with Promising Careers.”
