Jim Jackson: Legacy in Art and Leather Opening Reception

Join us for the opening reception of Jim Jackson: Legacy in Art and Leather, a major retrospective celebrating more than four decades of work by Wyoming artist James F. Jackson.

This exhibition brings together a wide range of Jackson’s paintings, carved and tooled leather, and works that merge both disciplines—highlighting a career defined by technical mastery, structural rigor, and creative independence. From modernist-inspired compositions to intricately tooled Sheridan-style leather, the exhibition reveals the depth and breadth of Jackson’s lifelong exploration of form, ornament, and visual metaphor.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist and experience the exhibition before it opens to the public. The evening offers a first look at works spanning approximately forty-five years, tracing Jackson’s evolution as both painter and master leather artisan.

4:30 PM – Special Preview for Collector-level Members
5:00 – 7:00 PM – Free and open to the public

Light appetizers will be served and a cash bar will be available.

We look forward to celebrating this remarkable legacy with you.
