THE PRIMARY COLLECTING GOAL FOR THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART IS THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THROUGH STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS RANGING FROM MAJOR ARTWORKS TO SUPPLEMENTAL PIECES, WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY AS WELL AS DIVERSITY OF THE COLLECTION WHILE ADDING THEMATIC DEPTH AND BREADTH. NMWA OPENED THE 2020 SEASON WITH THE TUCKER SMITH RETROSPECTIVE TUCKER SMITH: A CELEBRATION OF NATURE IN JUNE. THIS EXHIBITION BEGAN LATER THAN EXPECTED BECAUSE OF MUSEUM CLOSURE DUE TO COVID AND BECAUSE COVID EXACERBATED ISSUES WITH THE ART SHIPPERS WHO WERE DELIVERING ART FROM PRIVATE COLLECTORS. THE EXHIBITION OPENED SHORTLY AFTER WE OPENED THE MUSEUM TO THE PUBLIC AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE NOT ABLE TO HAVE A LARGE OPENING LECTURE, WE HAD A FEW SMALLER GATHERINGS AND A WEBINAR LECTURE WITH THE GUEST CURATOR BYRON PRICE. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED EXCLUSIVELY PAINTINGS OF THE LOCAL ARTIST TUCKER SMITH AND THE 88 ARTWORKS WERE ARRANGED CHRONOLOGICALLY WITH THE INTENT TO SHOW THE ARTIST'S PROGRESSION IN STYLE FROM THE 1970S TO PRESENT DAY. IN AUGUST, THE SHOW WAS PREPPED FOR TOUR, DEINSTALLED, AND SHIPPED TO THE NATIONAL COWBOY AND WESTERN HERITAGE MUSEUM IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. CRATES FOR THE TOUR WERE BUILT AND SOME WERE RECYCLED BY TETON ART SERVICES. THE TUCKER SMITH TOUR OPENED A BIT LATER AT THE NCWH ALSO DUE TO SCHEDULE CHANGES DUE TO COVID. IT OPENED AT NCWH ON OCTOBER 2ND. THE ARTIST WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL TO OKLAHOMA CITY AND SPEAK AT A LIMITED ATTENDED OPENING RECEPTION. THE TOUR MOVED TO THE NATIONAL SPORTING MUSEUM AND LIBRARY IN MIDDLETON, VA IN APRIL OF 2021, WHERE IT WAS ON EXHIBIT UNTIL AUGUST 22, 2021. BOTH TUCKER AND NMWA'S DIRECTOR STEVE SEAMONS WERE ABLE TO ATTEND A LIMITED ATTENDED OPENING RECEPTION. THE SHOW THEN HAD TO BE SPLIT WITH APPROXIMATELY SIXTY PERCENT SHIPPED TO THE BOOTH MUSEUM IN CARTERSVILLE, GA AND THE REMAINDER OF THE EXHIBITION WAS RETURNED TO NMWA, BECAUSE THE C.M. RUSSELL MUSEUM IN GREAT FALLS, MT DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE AS THEY HAD PROMISED, WHICH THEY STATED WAS DUE TO BUDGET ISSUES WITH COVID. THE EXHIBIT WILL CLOSE AT THE BOOTH MUSEUM ON JANUARAY 2ND OF 2022 WITH THIRTEEN PAINTINGS BEING SHIPPED BACK TO A PRIVATE COLLECTOR AND THE REMAINDER RETURNING TO NMWA, WHERE THEY WILL BE CHECKED FOR CONDITION AND RETURNED TO THEIR RESPECTFUL OWNERS. WESTERN VISIONS SALE AND EXHIBIT OPENED IN SEPTEMBER AND ALL SALES WERE HANDLED ONLINE DUE TO PROTOCOL ASSOCIATED WITH COVID. THIS WAS TO HELP PREVENT LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE FROM GATHERING IN SPACES IN OBSERVANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS SET BY THE TOWN OF JACKSON. OUR FALL EXHIBITION SCHEDULE OPENED THE PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION, SAGE GROUSE: ICON OF THE WEST IN THE BISON AND CHANGING VISIONS GALLERY. THIS EXHIBITION THAT OPENED THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER WAS ABOUT THE SAGE-GROUSE SPECIES, A DRAMATIC AND IMPRESSIVE BIRD THAT MAKES ITS HOME IN THE HIGH DESERT. THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AND THE EXHIBITION WAS PUT TOGETHER BY AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER NAPADOL PAOTHONG, WHO WITH THIS TRAVELING EXHIBITION HOPES TO INTRODUCE THE LIFE AND PLIGHT OF THIS UNUSUAL AND AMAZING BIRD TO MANY PEOPLE. THE EXHIBITION WAS TARGETED TO ENTICE WINTER VISITORS, CONSERVATION MINDED LOCALS, AND SCHOOL GROUPS. SINCE WE DO NOT COLLECT PHOTOGRAPHY, THIS EXHIBIT WAS A COMPLEMENTARY ADDITION TO OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE UNABLE TO HAVE ANY IN-PERSON OPENING CELEBRATIONS; HOWEVER, NOPADOL PAOTHONG PUT TOGETHER AND EXCELLENT TALK THAT WE INCLUDED IN A WEBINAR. THE EXHIBITION CLOSED THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY 2021. THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF LIVING LEGENDS, WITH A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO BOB KUHN OPENED TO THE PUBLIC THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER, 2020 AND RAN UNTIL MAY 23RD 2021. THIS EXHIBITION, SIMILAR TO THE FIRST TWO INSTALLMENTS, WAS COMPRISED OF LIVING ARTISTS SOLELY FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. ROBERT BATEMAN, A BELOVED ARTIST IN OUR COLLECTION, WAS HONORED FOR HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY WITH SIX PAINTINGS THAT WERE AN ADDITION TO THE LARGE BISON PAINTING, CHIEF, THAT IS PERMANENTLY DISPLAYED IN ONE OF OUR OTHER GALLERIES. THIS INSTALLMENT ALSO FOCUSED ON THE MORE UNUSUAL DEPICTIONS OF WILDLIFE BY FAMILIAR WILDLIFE ARTISTS IN THE COLLECTION AND SOME ARTWORKS THAT WERE SELDOM, OR NEVER BEFORE SEEN WERE HIGHLIGHTED. WE WERE UNABLE TO HAVE LARGE IN PERSON EVENTS WITH THIS EXHIBIT ALSO BECAUSE OF COVID RESTRICTIONS.

GRAPHIC ART WORK CREATED BY THE STUDIO PROJECT TEENS WAS EXHIBITED ON THE MUSEUM MEZZANINE JUNE - AUGUST.

TWO NEW EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS (BEYOND BEAUTY AND THERE'S NO WHITE IN SNOW) WERE PRODUCED THAT FEATURE ART FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION PAIRED WITH RELEVANT EXPLORATIONS INTO THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM. OUR ON-SITE CHILDREN'S GALLERY PROVIDES HANDS-ON INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS FOR CHILDREN.
