THE SHOW WAS IN HONOR OF THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF YELLOWSTONE AND WE SUPPLEMENTED THE EXHIBIT WITH WORKS FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. THE EXHIBIT WAS CONTAINED TO THE PATHWAYS GALLERY. PRIMARY COSTS FOR THIS EXHIBITION WERE SHIPPING AND PICK UP FOR THE PIECES FROM YELLOWSTONE RESEARCH AND HERITAGE CENTER. I FOCUSED THE NARRATIVE OF THIS EXHIBITION ON THE INFLUENCE MORAN'S ARTWORK HAD ON CREATING YELLOWSTONE AS THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK IN THE WORLD. ALSO INCLUDED TO BOOST THE NARRATIVE WERE SOME REPRINTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY WILLIAM HENRY JACKSON AND SOME NARRATIVE ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN PRESENCE IN THE PARK. COSTS FOR THE REPRINTS WERE MINIMAL. THIS EXHIBIT WAS POPULAR WITH VISITORS AS THEY WERE INTERESTED IN THE STORY OF YELLOWSTONE AND THE RECOGNITION OF THOMAS MORAN. WE ALSO OPENED BONHEUR AND BEYOND: WOMEN IN WILDLIFE ART IN JUNE. THIS EXHIBIT WAS DRAWN ENTIRELY FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION AND THE NARRATIVE WAS CENTERED ON WOMEN IN THE ARTS. BECAUSE THIS EXHIBIT WAS ENTIRELY FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION, DEVELOPMENT COSTS WERE MINIMAL, PRIMARILY GRAPHIC DESIGN, PRINTING OF LABELS. THIS EXHIBIT WAS IN THE BISON AND KING GALLERIES, AND I HAD A FEW ELEMENTS CONNECTED TO THE MORAN EXHIBIT. IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE WOMEN IN OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. IT WAS POPULAR WITH VISITORS AND ACCORDING TO DEBBIE, SEVERAL PEOPLE ASKED IF THERE WAS A CATALOGUE. WESTERN VISIONS SALE AND EXHIBIT OPENED IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS WELL ATTENDED. AN ACTION PORTION WAS ADDED THIS YEAR WE WORKED WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ON A SHARED TOURING SHOW TITLED WOLVES: PHOTOGRAPHY BY RONAN DONOVAN, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR OPENING IN FALL OF 2021; HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID, WOLVES WAS POSTPONED UNTIL FALL OF 2022. WE OPENED WOLVES ON NOVEMBER 5, AND TURNED THE OPENING EVENT INTO WOLF WEEKEND. RONAN DONOVAN SPOKE ON FRIDAY EVENING TO A STANDING ROOM CROWD AND ON SUNDAY RONAN FACILITATED A PANEL OF FOUR PEOPLE WHO RELATED THEIR DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON WOLVES. THIS PANEL WAS ALSO WELL-ATTENDED. OVERALL, OUR COST OF THE SHOW WAS HALF OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND WE BOOKED RONAN SEPARATELY AND HE KINDLY REDUCED HIS SPEAKER FEE FOR US. THIS WAS A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION FOR US AND OUR NAME AND BRAND WILL BE ON THE TOUR. FOR THE LOVE OF CANINES WAS A COMPANION PIECE FOR WOLVES DRAWN FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. SINCE WE HAVE A GREAT NUMBER OF ARTWORKS FEATURING WOLVES, FOXES, AND COYOTES, THIS EXHIBIT SERVED AS A GREAT WAY TO BRING OUT SOME OF OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION THAT HAD NOT BEEN SEEN FOR A WHILE, A FEW HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN FEATURED IN AN EXHIBIT. IT WAS A GREAT COMPANION EXHIBIT FOR WOLVES AND, SINCE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE IN THE SUMMER, I KEPT THIS EXHIBITION UP THROUGH AUGUST, WHEN WE HAD TO BRING IN THE AUCTION PIECES FOR WESTERN VISIONS.
