Current Exhibitions

“Unsettled Lands” introduces Manette Rene Bradford’s art to Western Montana. Bradford’s exhibition includes collage drawings and sculptures that unite the landscape and human figure. Bradford draws, tears, and paints cut images produced on dry or wet media to compose large-scale, evocative drawings that envelope the viewer. In her sculptural tableaus, the human figure merges with familiar mountain landscapes in a tense symbiosis.

“Standing in the River” opens to the public with a free reception on October 16 from 5-7 pm. This dramatic and immersive exhibition features over a dozen recent paintings and PEM glass sculptures by Sara Mast that are a meeting place between art and nature. Mast’s large-scale, abstract encaustic paintings are in dialog with sculptures that appear to be ebonized stones set on slim metal rods. These “stones” are made of PEM glass, a bioremediation process that recycles materials under heat and pressure to create shimmering, rock-like objects.

"Rand Robbin" features the graphic and sculptural work of the recently deceased artist. Robbin, a 91次元 alumnus from the Flathead, is celebrated for his life of cattle ranching, artmaking, and writing. Largely unseen and unrecognized for most of his life, modernist Robbin was a prolific printmaker, sculptor, and writer.
As a master printmaker, Robbin specialized in intaglio processes including etching, aquatint, engraving, and collagraphy. He also worked in relief, carving and printing woodcuts and wood engravings. Much of his mature work was in mixed media, combining prints with drawing, free verse, and, as he wrote, “hand-painted critters and unexpected designing.”
