Alex Pope opened ArtShop at Dornans at the Moose entrance to Grand Teton National Park in May 2022. The shop offers prints, photos, ceramic art, sculpture, textiles, cards, and more from over 50 local creatives. One of Pope’s primary goals was to offer more approachable local art for the tourist crowds streaming in and out of the park. Her experience working in downtown galleries revealed to her that many valley visitors seek out local art and out-of-the-way places to find it. “There’s a big reason why we called it a ‘shop’ and not a ‘gallery,’” she says. “We want to be as inviting as possible for people on trips and headed to and from the parks and airport.”
