First Night Missoula 2017
First Night was an absolute smash, thank you to everyone, including our performers and artists, sponsors, volunteers, and venues, who have made this festival possible. We are so humbled by your support.
We would also like to congratulate the winners of First Night Spotlight!
1ST PLACE // Faith Arledge 2ND PLACE // Luna Whiting-Yeo 3RD PLACE // Michael Boris, Tristan Redearth, and Hunter Olson PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD // Makenna Alick
We are so appreciative of all the contestants who put themselves out there and all the judges who made some very difficult calls.
Now, back to a little business. We often get questions about how to get an exhibit for First Friday, and the answer is actually quite simple:
just ask! Though we love to promote First Fridays, there is actually no overseeing entity to Missoula's First Fridays. If there's a business or organization that you'd like to show your work at, visit them directly to propose a show, and then submit an event on our
Gallery Guide so we can feature you!
