'Celebrating Yellowstone' Juried Art Show at Yellowstone Gateway Museum

The Yellowstone Gateway Museum is hosting an extraordinary event that focuses on artwork that captures the essence of Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone River, and Park County. The exhibit is open to the public July 1-October 1, with the art opening and reception on July 13, 5:30-7:30pm, with refreshments. With a nationwide call to artists, this exhibition showcases 55 of the 356 submissions that are inspired by this iconic place. This exhibition provides an exclusive opportunity for area communities to experience a diverse range of exceptional art.

The Yellowstone Gateway Museum is proud to facilitate the sale of all accepted artworks during the exhibition. All proceeds benefit the Foundation of the Yellowstone Gateway Museum. By acquiring a piece from this collection, you enable the museum to continue supporting local artists and promoting cultural enrichment within our community. No artwork may be removed from the museum exhibit until after October 1, 2023.

Lucinda Reinold, a Paradise Valley, Montana resident since 2013, is the art exhibit juror. She has a masters and doctorate degree in the History of Art from the University of California, Berkeley. Reinold taught art history at UC Berkeley, Carleton College in Northfield, MN, and at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. She has served on many non-profit art organization boards, including the San Francisco Art Institute, the Capp Street Project, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and the Oxbow School of Art. Currently, she sits on the board of the Park County Environmental Council. 

"Above all, we hope that everyone who comes to this exhibit will enjoy it and be inspired by the beauty of the Park and the Greater Yellowstone area, and the artists’ efforts to interpret it," said Reinold.

The exhibit is supported by a grant from the Livingston Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) Board. To learn more about their work promoting Livingston, Montana, visit explorelivingstonmt.com.
