The story

Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival in Jackson

The Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is an eleven-day, multi-venue celebration of visual and culinary arts each September across Jackson, Wyoming. Anchored by the Jackson Hole QuickDraw and Auction on the Town Square, the festival spans galleries, museums, and historic ranches with more than fifty events across contemporary, Western, wildlife, and Native American art.

The Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival grew out of a valley whose art market has long depended on Western, wildlife, and landscape subjects drawn directly from the surrounding Teton landscape, and organizers built a multi-day September festival to give that market a concentrated annual showcase rather than leave it spread across the year in individual gallery shows.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival unfolds across the entire town rather than a single fairground, using local galleries, museums, studios, historic valley ranches, and the Center for the Arts as simultaneous venues, so visitors move through Jackson's actual arts infrastructure instead of a temporary festival footprint

02

The mystery stays covered

Its signature event, the Jackson Hole QuickDraw and Auction, has artists complete original works live on the Town Square before those pieces go to immediate auction, compressing the entire creative and commercial process of fine art into a single public morning

03

The city starts moving

The festival's stature is reinforced by outside recognition: Jackson Hole was ranked the top arts community in the United States by the Southern Methodist University Arts Vibrancy Index, a distinction credited in part to the density and reputation of events like this one
