We’re looking for artists who love the BTNF to create and donate original works to be included as part of a raffle at the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
The raffle is part of the 2nd Annual Friends of the Bridger-Teton/National Museum of Wildlife Art Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Mixer. The event, which last year drew more than 200 attendees, is March 26.
We ask artists to submit their intent to create a piece to donate by December 1 (to Jennifer Ricupero at Jennifer@BTFriends.org). Art must be completed and received by FBT by February 1.
The image here is a detail from artist Karla Bird’s piece that she donated to last year’s event.
SPECIFICS
The Friends of the Bridger-Teton/National Museum of Wildlife Art JH CHamber Mixer is from 5–7 p.m. March 26, 2026. This event is free for all to attend.
We are looking for up to 10 artists, and hoping to get at least one from communities adjacent to each of the BTNF’s 6 districts.
All completed artwork must be physically handed Jennifer at FBT at 19 E. Pine Street in Pinedale. If you are not able to meet this deadline, please let Jennifer know by January 1.
Our hope is that artists with donated works attend the Chamber mixer. This is an amazing opportunity to mingle with over 200 people viewing your art and present your piece as the raffle is being drawn. Artists are welcome to bring business cards to the event to share.
FBT will acknowledge your generous donation via FBT social media, on a Facebook Event page, and in-person at the event. There is a chance it will also be featured in NMWA partnered posts.
For more information, contact Jennifer Ricupero at Jennifer@BTFriends.org or 307-690-0265.
