Join us at the People’s Market, on Wednesday, June 26 at 4pm to review and comment on the site-specific concepts of the Stilson Transit Center public art finalists.
A selection panel, made up of local arts and culture professionals and representatives from the stakeholder team, reviewed nearly 180 qualifications and selected six accomplished artists for the next phase of this process. These six artists work in a range of materials and hail from across the United States. The finalists are listed below:
Priscila de Carvalho (Long Island City, NY)
Mark Chatterley (Williamston, MI)
Christopher Janney (Los Angeles, CA)
David Michael (San Diego, CA)
Patrick Marold (Nederland, CO)
Janet Zweig (Brooklyn, NY)
For their concept proposals, finalists are encouraged to consider Jackson Hole’s history, the unique character of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the specific geological and natural forces of the area, as well as current and past inhabitants of the region. The Transit Center is sited near wildlife crossings and within migration corridors, so the artists are also invited to explore the concept of movement of wildlife, people, and geological time, reflecting the culture, values, and diversity of the region. The artwork will be commissioned by the Town of Jackson and owned by Teton County with public art project administration provided by JH Public Art.
This will be the first of several opportunities for the public to review site-specific concepts from finalists and provide feedback. The winning artist will be announced in late July.
