NORTH STAIRS RENOVATION UPDATES

Work has begun! The stairs have been fully removed, dirt is being lifted and shifted, and we are so excited to see this project take flight. Follow the progress on our socials!

We are excited to partner with PRG commercial and the Historical Preservation Board of Gallatin County to transform this highly-utilized historic entryway, and would love to partner with you, too! Every contribution helps us land closer to our goal. With your generosity and a dollar-for-dollar match from Jenny Kahrl, we now only need $27,050 more dollars to reach our overall funding goal of $150,000!

Give today to support the necessary work required to keep our facilities safe, welcoming, and honoring to our history.

CURRENT EXHIBITS

Only two more weeks to see our current exhibits! All works are for sale- inquire with the front office to purchase.

Heidi Marie Faessel

Turn Your Face to the Sun

Turn Your Face to the Sun was inspired by the quote: “Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows will fall behind you.” Reflecting on the color yellow as the color of optimism, of sunshine; a color that conveys the radiance of the sun and waves of life force energy, Faessel wondered “how can I counteract the darkness (felt both from the depths of winter and dark headline news), both literally and figuratively?”

Based in Whitefish, Montana, multidisciplinary artist Heidi Marie Faessel creates abstract paintings and sculptures formed from salvaged and everyday materials.

4Letter

The abstract works on display are a self-portrait of thoughts into my abstract life - each with its own unique story that I cannot explain with a simply paragraph. With enthusiasm and passion, a verbal telling is my chosen form. 

HOLIDAY NOIR AUDITIONS

It’s that time of year again, and our fabulously festive, seasonally-sassy holiday variety show is just around the corner! Want to be part of the magic? Come show us what you’ve got!

Auditions will be held September 22, 23, and 24. Please come prepared with fully-choreographed, holiday-themed, show-stopping acts! The bar is set high this year, so don’t hold back (creativity is highly encouraged)!

Per usual, we are looking for performers that are comfortable with 18+ material, and yes, you must be 18 to audition and perform. This is year FOUR and we are so excited to prepare yet another unforgettable Holiday Noir for this community!
