It was truly a delight to host members of the Womentum 2026 cohort for a tour of the "Women Artists of the American West: Colorado and Utah, 1885-1935" exhibition last evening! Engaging discussions, insightful questions, and a splash of prosecco contributed to a fun night.

Congrats to Giveaway winner of 2 free Eras Party tickets !

Cameran and her guest will be joining us to dance under the stars like it's the 1920s in Jackson Hole!

From 1924-25, the Crandall family, alongside their photography business, operated a canvas‑sided dance pavilion with partial log walls as an entrepreneurial side business on the shore of Jenny Lake.

For two bright summers, Jackson Hole locals swung and swayed on Saturday nights under the stars. In this photo, Esther Crandall (from Cody, Wyoming) stands behind the sign leading dancers to the pavilion.
