Shaping Our Pathway Forward:
After 14 years of inspired leadership, we’re proud to announce a new chapter for Blackfoot Pathways Sculpture in the Wild. Please join us in welcoming Erin Farris-Olsen as our new Executive Director.
Erin brings over 20 years of experience in nonprofit and program leadership, including work in conservation, rural development, and strategic communications. Her career has focused on strengthening community relationships, elevating local voices, and building sustainable impact — values that align deeply with our mission.
To date, we’ve welcomed over 400,000 visitors, introduced more than 3,000 children to the power of art and nature, and installed 22 site-specific works that reflect the unique character of our region and have earned international acclaim for their artistic excellence. With Erin’s leadership, we are continuing to shape a vision that cultivates connection and honors place.
Rooted in gratitude and looking ahead with purpose, we’re excited to step into this next chapter.
