Takin’ it to the Streets, for years a Fall Arts Festival attraction on Town Square, is now Arts on the Green, scheduled to be held on the Center for the Arts’ big open lawn on Sept. 11.
“I have always loved art fairs,” said Shana Stegman, owner of the Yellow House Collective on South Jackson Street and an annual participant of the Art Association’s long-running Fall Art Festival event Takin’ it to the Streets, when it was held on the square. “Everyone is so happy to be there — from the artists to the viewers, the energy is so great.”
The nonprofit Art Association has adapted with the years to accommodate the needs and desires of the regional artists it features during Fall Arts while creating a festive and fun space for patrons, browsers, shoppers and other visitors.
This year it has relocated its fall art fair to the Center Lawn. The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce will provide live music and serve up a variety of yummy drinks during the event.
More than 50 area creatives — from those who have displayed their work on regional, national and global stages, to those are new to the art scene — have been invited via a jury process to participate in the fair and offer work done in a wide variety of mediums.
The fair is also a place where visitors and residents can get a broader feel for what Teton-area artists are creating and selling in shops around town. Popup tents hold secrets to the local art world that can be overlooked amid the glamour of galleries.
“The art fair is an event that brings us all together,” Stegman said. “It’s oh-so-awesome to see all the incredible artists in one place. Walking around the fair is so inspiring, not just for the viewer, but for the artists themselves who find inspiration from one another.”
Arts on the Green will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11, on the Center for the Arts Lawn, located at 265 N. Cache St., in Jackson.
