Elevate Our Studios
Our six studios drive the Art Association, serving thousands annually, from beginners to professionals. To meet growing demand and maintain quality, we are transforming these spaces into modern, state-of-the-art environments with upgraded equipment, better lighting, ventilation, accessibility, flexible workstations, and advanced technology.
Modern studios allow us to:
- Expand scholarships and programming
- Attract and retain exceptional instructors
- Increase class offerings and year-round participation
- Ensure safety, accessibility, and sustainability
- Strengthen Jackson Hole’s creative economy
We invite you to join us in elevating our studios – and in doing so, elevating the artistic life of our entire community. A gift to this campaign will have immediate and lasting impact for generations to come.
From now until May 20th, thanks to a generous pledge, every gift to our Elevate our Studios campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000. A gift during this period will contribute to the future of our Mixed Media Studio while doubling your impact.
Your matched donation will:
- Increase capacity in our jewelry making space with four new work benches
- Install new ventilation, improving studio functionality and safety
- Bring new life into our woodworking space
- Expand class, workshop and open studio offerings in glass, leatherworking and fiber arts
- Ensure the studio remains an inclusive, inspiring space for creative exploration
Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1248 Jackson, WY 83001.
