The 22nd Annual Fête isn’t simply an annual opener for Mariam Diehl this season — it’s a statement about where and who Diehl Gallery is after 25 years.

For Diehl, the Fête brings together artists who have been central to her program for many years alongside “exciting new voices who represent its future.” The event will feature over 80 pieces of art across genres, and for Diehl that mix of established relationships and fresh perspectives feels like an authentic reflection of a quarter century in the Jackson Hole art scene.

The Fête opening reception is set to run from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight at the gallery on King Street, and will feature music from the Chanman Acoustic Trio.

“Unlike a themed exhibition, the Fête is really a portrait of Diehl Gallery at this moment in time, reflecting not only the breadth of our program — from painting and sculpture to photography and works on paper — but also the conversations happening across it,” Diehl said.

“The artists may work in very different styles and media, yet they’re united by originality, craftsmanship, and a deeply personal point of view.”

The Fête is curated around visual conversations. That means a Marshall Noice painting may hang near one of Donald Martiny’s abstract expressionist works. A Chris Maynard carved feather piece might be in dialogue with one of Daniel Adel’s hyper-abstract paintings.

This year’s show includes several new names, including Anise Aiello.

“In many ways, it’s a full-circle moment,” Kendall Moore, an associate at Diehl, wrote in an email. “Both of Anise’s parents are represented by Diehl Gallery, and as a little girl, she spent countless hours here — often drawing on the gallery floor while her parents installed exhibitions.”

Now Aiello is installing her large scale sculptures — geometric pieces of porcelain, wire and fitted silver hardware that mount into surreal shapes blending fantasy and physics.

Also debuting at Fête are Louise P. Sloane’s paintings, which the gallery owner described as “luminous.”

“Built from layers of color and handwritten text, they reveal themselves gradually and invite viewers to spend time with them,” Diehl said.

The show includes new work by Susan Brearey and David Kammerzell, who will have solo exhibitions later this summer. Diehl called Brearey’s paintings “quiet” but entirely potent as they break boundaries and “distill animals to their essential presence, creating works that are at once contemporary, contemplative, and emotionally resonant.”

Diehl said Kammerzell’s paintings of cowboys and ranch life avoid “romantic nostalgia.”

“They’re beautifully composed works that capture not only the golden light of the American West, but also its character, dignity, and quiet complexity,” she said.

One of the great pleasures of working with artists over many years, according to Diehl, is watching them continuously surprise audiences in the gallery.

“The strongest artists never become static — they continue to experiment, refine, and push themselves in new directions,” Diehl said.
