The Courtyard A hidden-in-plain-sight space offers the opportunity to see public art installations that range from the whimsical to the mechanical. //By Samantha Simma More than 100,000 audience members attend events in and around the Center for the Arts campus every year, and at the center of it all is an open-air courtyard measuring 30 by 28 feet, with glass walls on three sides.

Dornans Pizza These pies are as fun to order as they are to eat. // By Sofia McGulick Is a summer visit to Grand Teton National Park really a visit if you don’t get pizza at Dornans and take it up to the restaurant’s rooftop deck to eat while enjoying the views? There are 10 restaurants inside GTNP, but it’s the Pizza & Pasta Company at Dornans, just outside the park’s main entrance at Moose, that is its most iconic eatery, mostly because of its pizzas, each of which are named after a Teton peak. “It would be easier for…

Go Green  These salads are serious meals. //By Samantha Simma The West may be best known for its wild game and locally raised meats, and in Jackson Hole, salads stand by on menus as unsung heroes. Packed with fresh (and, in summer, often locally grown), vibrant ingredients, they can be as passionately composed as main courses. “The salad is not just a dish; it reflects our commitment to bringing people together through the universal language of food,” says Figs general manager Sadek Darwiche. Here are five local salads worthy of epicurean curiosity. When vetting a new menu item, Healthy Being…

Old & New Mixing traditional Western and wildlife art with modern pieces can create a more interesting collection and interiors. // By Maggie Theodora “I see a movement away from art that’s expected in a home, either in tone or style,” says Chad Repinski, director of Jackson’s Diehl Gallery. “Collectors are shunning the idea of ‘matchy-matchy,’ which can free them to install art that stands on its own.” In Jackson Hole, this movement away from the expected and matchy-matchy means collectors and homes that increasingly blend traditional wildlife and Western art with contemporary/modern art and aesthetics. Twenty years ago, traditional Western…

In the Raw Although we’re 1,000 miles from a coast, Jackson Hole takes its sushi seriously. // By Helen Olsson In the 1970s, a sushi bar named Osho opened in Los Angeles, catering to Hollywood celebrities. Over the next few decades, sushi grew in popularity, but most people wouldn’t touch a spicy tuna roll in a landlocked state with a 10-inch chopstick. Today, Jackson Hole’s robust array of sushi offerings debunks the myth that you can’t get amazing sushi anywhere but in coastal cities. Global aviation and improved refrigeration technologies continue to decrease the time from boat to plate. Fish purveyors…

Wyoming Wine The grapes come from California, but Jackson Hole Winery does everything else to make its award-winning wines in a barn in Wilson. // By Helen Olsson  During college at Sonoma State University, Anthony Schroth took a wine business class that required an internship. Stomping grapes at a Napa Valley winery planted the seed for an audacious idea: to start a winery at an elevation of 6,229 feet on his family’s 17-acre property in Jackson Hole. “I knew I wanted to have my own label,” Schroth says. The property’s 100-year-old dairy barn with Grand Teton views, he figured, would…
