We are excited to announce the latest Land Art Generator Solar Mural artwork<\/a> was installed and connected in Jackson, Wyoming!<\/h2>\n

Choose Earth<\/a><\/em> by artist Peggy Flavin<\/a> will provide about 2,500 kilowatt-hours of clean solar electricity each year to power the Pump House on W. Broadway (U.S. Rt 191). Visible to everyone on their way into town from the west, the artwork tells the story of the interconnectedness of all living things and inspires us to take action to help preserve the balance of Earth’s natural systems.<\/p>\n

The project is the result of a wonderful community collaboration led by Candra Day of Vista 360<\/a>, a non-profit dedicated to helping protect mountain places and strengthen mountain communities. Candra reached out to us in late 2019 we visited Jackson a couple months later to look at potential sites. <\/p>\n

The Pump House turned out to be a perfect and highly visible opportunity that happens to sit next to the Artspot<\/a>, a site for rotating public artwork curated by Jackson Hole Public Art. <\/p>\n

Driven by her commitment to increase awareness of solar power in Wyoming, Candra persevered to make the project happen through the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic. <\/p>\n

Peggy Flavin was chosen as the artist through a Request for Qualifications process that was open to creatives in Teton County in early 2022.<\/p>\n

The launch event was made possible by Canvas Unlimited, Teton Lunch Counter, Road House Beer, and Dylan Cameron. Music was provided by Christine Langdon and Ken Palomar.<\/p>\n
