Shared Ground: Art and Animals
Shared Ground: Art and Animals explores the enduring relationship between humans and animals through the work of artist Jessie Wilber and related contemporary perspectives. Drawn from a traveling exhibition organized through the Montana Art Gallery Directors Association (MAGDA), the exhibition centers on Wilber’s prints, including relief prints, lithographs, and screen prints, which reflect a deep engagement with observation, craftsmanship, and the natural world.
The exhibition will be presented alongside a selection of recent acquisitions from TAM’s permanent collection, as well as work by a contemporary regional artist, creating a dialogue between historical and contemporary approaches to animal imagery.

Everything Becomes Something
Everything Becomes Something celebrates the drawings and prints of artist Tyler Joseph Krasowski, whose work transforms everyday materials and spontaneous mark-making into richly imaginative and deeply detailed compositions. A virtuosic draftsman and printmaker, Krasowski embraces drawing not simply as preparation for finished works, but as an art form in itself, full of immediacy, experimentation, humor, and discovery. Influenced by the dense visual language of historical printmakers such as Albrecht Dürer, his works invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and uncover layers of imagery, texture, and meaning.
Born in Minneapolis and educated at the University of Montana, Krasowski has built a multidisciplinary practice spanning drawing, printmaking, textile design, and collaborative projects across the country. His work balances technical mastery with a playful openness to process, reminding viewers that creativity can emerge from ordinary materials and fleeting moments of observation. Featuring an eclectic range of subjects and approaches, Everything Becomes Something highlights the energy, curiosity, and transformative possibilities of drawing while encouraging visitors to engage with art through careful attention, imagination, and exploration.

A Sense of Place: 25 Years of Collecting and Connecting
For twenty-five years, The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho has served as a cultural steward for our region, preserving and sharing the artistic voices that help define who we are and where we come from. A Sense of Place: 25 Years of Collecting & Connecting celebrates this legacy through a selection of significant works drawn from the museum's permanent collection, many returning to public view for the first time in decades.
Featuring artists whose work reflects the landscapes, communities, histories, and traditions of Idaho and the surrounding Intermountain West, the exhibition traces the stories that have shaped our region and the museum itself. Together, these works reveal the power of art to document place, preserve memory, and foster connection across generations.
As TAM enters its twenty-fifth year, A Sense of Place invites visitors to rediscover beloved works, encounter hidden treasures from the collection vaults, and reflect on the role museums play as caretakers of cultural memory. More than a retrospective, this exhibition is a celebration of community, stewardship, and the enduring stories that continue to shape Eastern Idaho.

Vessels of War and Recovery
In Vessels of War and Recovery, ceramic artist and Iraq War veteran Chris Albrecht explores the complicated terrain between combat and homecoming. Drawing from his experiences as a medic deployed to Iraq and his long journey through trauma, recovery, fatherhood, and healing, Albrecht transforms clay into a powerful vehicle for personal and collective memory.
His vessels bear the marks of contradiction: humor and horror, beauty and brokenness, destruction and redemption. Influenced by historical military imagery, global ceramic traditions, and the Japanese practice of kintsukuroi, repairing broken pottery with gold, Albrecht's work reflects the enduring impact of war while affirming the possibility of restoration.
Both deeply personal and universally human, these works invite viewers to consider the visible and invisible scars we carry, the stories that shape us, and the resilience required to find our way home.
Also featuring: Artwork from Ceci Richardson-Salvador
Inspired by years spent exploring the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness, Ceci Richardson-Salvador transforms photographs, stitched thread, maps, and natural materials into immersive installations that evoke the beauty and remoteness of one of America's largest wilderness areas. Inviting viewers to slow down and reconnect with the natural world, her work explores memory, landscape, and our enduring relationship with wild places.
