JACKSON, Wyo. — St. Johns Health Foundation, with support from Jackson Hole Public Art, has completed their final art selections for Sage Living, the nearly-completed residential senior care facility located in Jackson, Wyoming.
Over 200 local and regional artists applied to this call to artists, with twenty-four artists finally selected to contribute artwork for the permanent collection at Sage Living.
Artists were asked to submit original paintings, limited edition photographs or prints, to contribute to a stimulating and imaginative living atmosphere. The volunteer art committee, assembled by St. Johns Health Foundation and managed by JH Public Art, followed nationally established criteria for health care facilities and met virtually this fall to make the difficult determination of which works would be purchased and held in the collection in perpetuity.
Artworks range in size and style, from the intimate pencil drawings by Casper, Wyoming artist Rozmaring Czaban to a large-scale commission by Borbay, a painter based out of Victor, Idaho with artwork on display around the world.
The selected artist list includes: Pam Baker, Emily Boespflug, Borbay, Rozmaring Czaban, Tuck Fauntleroy, Wendell Field, E. Lynette Fransen, Lanny Grant, Jennifer L. Hoffman, Todd Kosharek, Rachel Kunkle Hartz, Kate McCabe, Brian McGeogh, Bronwyn Minton, Will Munford, Mike Piggott, LeeAnn Ramey, Miga Rossetti, Tobias E. Sauer, Jonathan Selkowitz, Jocelyn Slack, Kay Stratman, September Vhay, and Kathy Wipfler. While many of these artists will be recognizable to the local Jackson Hole community, a number also come from the region at large, perhaps introducing their work to Jackson Hole for the first time. Sage Living expects to welcome residents in the summer of 2021.
