WildWalls 2020 opened at the end of June and ran through early September. Nine temporary murals were wheatpasted at locations around the Town of Jackson, each with a new twist — Augmented Reality (AR) features that transform the static image into a live story.

The temporary murals by local artists are joined by a new, permanent mural by Laramie, WY artist Dan Toro sponsored by and located at Snake River Brewing. They all highlight the beauty and tell the story of the scenic and wild Snake River, Teton glaciers, and watersheds unique to the Jackson Hole area. By siting artworks in iconic public settings, WildWalls aims to reach broad audiences with conservation messages through public art.

WildWalls 2020 combined murals with AR features that promote a greater understanding and awareness about local water quality issues. Protect Our Water JH provided educational content and proactive solutions that demonstrate how individuals can help to preserve and protect local water quality. The message is clear : The Time is Now to Protect our Waters.
