With Complete Streets projects cropping up all around our community, JH Public Art saw an opportunity to introduce artist-designed, Jackson-inspired amenities in lieu of mass-manufactured fixtures – a strategy that is not only cost-effective but also rich with community character.

Community Street Furniture grew out of a Leadership JH collaboration with Jackson Hole Public Art and the Town of Jackson to identify locations where benches are needed at bus stops and in public areas throughout town. A talented team of local designers channeled their creative brilliance into creating custom tree grates, waste receptacles, benches and bicycle racks that are available for purchase for both public and private properties.

Staff at E/Ye Design, Jackson Hole Public Art’s Bland Hoke and Friends of Pathway’s Jack Koehler designed and value engineered each item to cost the same (or very close to) off-the-shelf factory items. Except for the tree grate, all of the furniture is produced in nearby Rexburg, Idaho. Benches can be named and your donation is tax-deductible.

Bench: $1,650

Bike Rack: $400/ w logo $450

Trash Receptacle: $1,300

Tree Grate: $1,400
