You’re Invited: Garden of Lanterns – A Curated Artist Opportunity
Presented by Jackson Hole Public Art, curated by Bronwyn Minton
Imagine stepping into a glowing landscape where oversized lanterns bloom like flowers, casting a warm, inviting light. Garden of Lanterns is a community-driven public art installation that symbolizes care, growth, and togetherness. We invite you to be a part of this magical experience by helping us design and build a luminous garden of handcrafted lanterns.
The Garden of Lanterns is more than just an art installation—it’s a reflection of how we nurture and support one another. Inspired by the natural beauty of gardens, this project will bring to life a glowing space where oversized lanterns take the form of flowers, leaves, and abstract plant shapes. These illuminated sculptures will create an ever-evolving sanctuary of light and connection, a space for storytelling, music, and shared experiences.
Each lantern will carry its own story while contributing to a larger narrative of interconnectedness rooted in Jackson Hole’s unique cultural and environmental landscape. The Garden of Lanterns will culminate in a free exhibit and community celebration in early October at the center for the Arts.
Garden of Lanterns will transform the Center for the Arts park into a luminous, participatory installation inspired by gardens as living metaphors—places of growth, story, and community care.
