Since its founding in 2001, Diehl Gallery has been a focal point in Jackson Hole’s art community—a place to celebrate and engage with locals, visitors, avid collectors and casual art viewers. We have forged a space for contemporary art in our small mountain town and we are honored to share this place. We proudly represent masters found in renowned museum collections worldwide and emerging and mid-career artists whose names we have helped to make familiar.
This summer, we kick off the Fourth of July holiday weekend with the 14th Annual Fête, a provocative exhibition featuring more than 40 new works by gallery artists who are actively shaping the meaning of “contemporary art” in the 21st Century.
Diehl Gallery is proud to present a summer season devoted to the animal in art. For the first time, our summer exhibition program will be built around a central theme. Animals have played an integral role in art since the very beginning. We have hunted them, worshiped them, ridden them, herded them and made them our pets. Throughout, we have painted and sculpted them. This summer, we are excited to share a broad offering of works in various mediums, from video and mixed media to oil painting and bronze and driftwood sculpture, all focused on examining animals, our relationship with them and our perception of their movements and form.
Each exhibition this summer will benefit the Elephant Crisis Fund. This remarkable organization funds anti-poaching, anti-trafficking, and ivory demand reduction projects in over 30 countries around the world. 100% of donated funds go directly towards actions to save elephants, and with zero overhead.
