Center for the Arts, Jackson WY

To connect our creative community by providing a dedicated campus, supporting excellent programming, and nurturing a collaborative spirit.

Jackson Hole’s Center for the Arts began with a dream in 1991.

Jackson-based arts organizations, artists, and concerned community members recognized that increasing rents and inadequate facilities threatened Jackson Hole’s local arts organizations.

With a $1000 grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, a plan for a shared facility was born.

Over five years, a needs assessment, an existing facilities assessment, a site selection study, a feasibility study, and an economic impact study all supported the need for an art center in Jackson. With the generous support of our founding community members, construction of the facility was completed in 2007. Today Center for the Arts, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, serves all of Jackson Hole and the surrounding region by providing a state-of-the-art, affordable home for nonprofit arts organizations and supporting excellent programming in our 78,000 square-foot campus.
