What’s Your Why? I know, I know. You’ve heard this before. It’s not a NEW question, but the answer IS always evolving… So. We. Can’t. Stop. Asking! This show explores the human experience by way of our natural and diverse DNA through storytelling. We bring to life the many pillars of our humanity: Culture, community, history, literature, and art. Our purpose is to expand your vision of the world, educate, inspire, and give you critical thinking skills needed to apply to your own journey and create more connectivity and significance within the human experience. With nationally and internationally renowned humanists - authors, journalists, philosophers, artists and scientists - we adventure into conversations about where they’ve been, how they are wired, what makes them tick, and how their history relates to the greater world and you. Get inspired, gain perspective and reflect on What’s Your Why?

Wyoming Women To Watch: Artist Bronwyn Minton
Bronwyn Minton is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and arts leader living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Minton holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is the recipient of the Wyoming Governor’s Arts Award, two Wyoming Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowships, a Wyoming Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship Honorable mention, and the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole’s Creative Pulse Award. Minton’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, and is in public and private collections.
Minton works with notions related to human interaction in the natural world; inclusive of scientific observation, physical involvement, and cultural experience. Her work consists of drawing, animation, photography, sculpture, clay, printmaking, and interactive installations. Using simple forms derived from nature, her work exploits radically different scales, from the microscopic to the monumental, bringing attention to how we fit with and construct nature. Last but not least, Bronwyn is the Executive Director of the Art Association of Jackson Hole. Minton served as the Director of Exhibits and Programs at the Art Association for a year and a half. Prior to the Art Association, Minton was at the National Museum of Wildlife Art for over 13 years, where she most recently served as Associate Curator of Art and Research.Minton, an amazing artist, is 1 of 5 Wyoming artists selected for Women To Watch. The 2024 exhibit is the National Museum of Women in the Art's biennial exhibition series that features underrepresented and emerging women artists who create in any medium including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, print, drawing, photography, film, digital, installation, and sound. Wyoming will participate for the first time in NMWA’s Women to Watch exhibition, held in Washington, DC in 2024. Bronwyn is 1 of 5 artists chosen from across Wyoming to be invited to submit their work. But only one will be chosen to be on exhibit in a permenent collection at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C!
