JACKSON, Wyo. — A Minneapolis-based artist has been selected to create a mosaic art installation for the Teton County/Jackson Recreation Center Expansion Project, scheduled to open in late spring of 2024.
“Stacia Goodman will work with the local youth to design an engaging mosaic for the new lobby that highlights the unique aspects of our geographical location and the ecological and human communities that inhabit Teton County,” Jackson Hole Public Art said yesterday.
Attention to detail and expertise with mosaics, desire to design interactive works, ideas for upcycling materials and enthusiasm for working with the community to create a successful, site-specific piece all led to Goodman’s selection for this project. A panel of community stakeholders and Teton County/Jackson Recreation Center employees reviewed over 120 qualifications and narrowed the pool to five finalists before choosing Goodman.
Goodman’s projects can be found in spaces across the United States, including Stanford University Children’s Hospital and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
“I’m really excited to work with Jackson on this project. It has all the elements of what great public art should be — telling an inclusive local story, community engagement, upcycling materials and more,” said Goodman.
Installation of the finished work will occur in tandem with the construction schedule, likely in early 2024.
