Through May 2022, join an exploration of inspiration through sound, movement, drawing, and craft.
The Anvil Hotel in collaboration with The Teton Art Lab are proud to host Uncommon Art, our Artist in Residence program running through May 2022. This is Anvil’s 4h year hosting the program which began in 2017 and is held each year at its sister property Sound View Greenport.
Six exceptional artists from all over the country were selected from hundreds of applications to live and work on property and be inspired by Jackson Hole. As part of the residency, each artist is invited to share something with the community (that's you) whether it be a performance, an open working session, or even a display of their work.
As artists, sculptors and filmmakers converge at The Anvil, a powerful conversation of the creative community ignites. Our artist participants will host open working sessions, display key works, and lead socially distanced talks, inviting the community into rare opportunities to witness the artist's journey, from inspiration to completion.
Get inspired to start crafting your very own work of art during Uncommon Art Residency at The Anvil Hotel. And while you're here, see it all for less: book our Wild, Wild Winter offer by March 17 and you'll save up to 25% off your Winter stay.
Please also visit our activities calendar for artists' performances and community events.
