The 2023 Fall Arts Festival featured artist is Ewoud De Groot of Astoria Fine Art. De Groot, a Dutch wildlife artist who lives and works in Egmond aan Zee, Holland, a coastal village in the Northern Netherlands, strives to find a balance of tension between an abstract background and the realism of the subject by exploring the facets of composition, color, and technique. His selected painting, Twilight Elk, will be displayed at The Cloudveil until it hits the auction block during the festival’s Quick Draw event. Additional selections of De Groot’s work will be on display at Astoria Fine Art in the Town Square.

While attending the Fall Arts Festival, visitors can also plan to enjoy the recreation this breathtaking area has to offer. Rent a bicycle and take advantage of the Jackson Hole Bike Park. The park includes novice trails and more challenging trails for advanced riders. Hiking in the Teton Village takes visitors high above the valley by gondola or tram to access trails providing stunning views of the area. Fly fishing excursions, paragliding adventures, and fine dining to cap off a day of discovery is all part of the fun.
