Raised off-reservation before returning to the Wind River Reservation at age 17, his practice is deeply informed by reconnection and cultural contrast. He also serves as the Tribal Education Assistant for the Institute of Tribal Learning at Central Wyoming College. Visitors can view textured compositions that blur the line between two- and three-dimensional space. Hubbard draws on traditions such as ledger art, parfleche design, and beadwork, combining them with printmaking, painting, and assemblage. Through processes of sanding, layering, and transfer, each piece reveals a visible history of time and erosion. All ages welcome.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is hosting a free community screening of the inspiring documentary 'The Art of Adventure.' The film explores the extraordinary lifelong friendship between world-renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and fearless biologist Bristol Foster. The documentary follows Bateman and Foster's epic 1957 journey around the world. Armed with a 16mm camera and an artist's brush, the duo captured a vivid window onto a planet once wild and unscarred. It weaves together nature, art, and activism, showing how two very different men fought to protect the natural world. This is a free event open to the public. No advanced ticket purchase is required, though seating in the Cook Auditorium is generally first-come, first-served. All ages are welcome; family-friendly. Doors to the auditorium open shortly before 5:30 PM, with the film screening running until 7:30 PM.

This event serves as a community gathering space for local musicians, poets, and performers to showcase their talents in a relaxed, classic Jackson Hole saloon atmosphere.

The saloon environment generally requires guests to be 21+ to purchase and consume alcohol, though the venue may allow younger performers depending on the time of night. Activities include live amateur and professional performances, networking with local artists, and enjoying the saloon's food and beverage offerings.
Co-sponsored by the JH Bird and Nature Club and Teton Plants as part of the Nature Night Series, this community educational event focuses on the local ecosystem. Native pollinators are 'keystone species' essential to supporting the biodiversity of the southern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, enabling the reproduction of 85% of flowering plants. Birds, which comprise 80% of the vertebrate wildlife found on the Bridger-Teton, are excellent indicators of ecosystem health. Presenters Don DeLong (Wildlife and Habitat Program Manager for the West Zone of the Bridger-Teton National Forest) and Taelyn Cathcart (Wildlife Biologist, USFS) will discuss why they are monitoring pollinators and birds in the Greys River area and share preliminary results of their investigations. The event is open to the public of all ages.
