More info coming soon!

The Free Art Programs are organized by Graham Kerwin, Interim Education Manager, in collaboration with professional artist instructors who receive specialized training that supports each program's needs.

The Veterans’ Art Program (now expanded to include active-duty military) was the first of its kind in Montana and was initiated in 2021. The Senior Art Program is an initiative in lifelong learning that has been supported at the museum for over sixteen years. Our work and partnership with Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain have been essential to creating lasting connections with all the wonderful people who participate in our art program. Joining this year is AWARE, whose clients are also eager to create and express themselves through art.

This exhibition was organized by Graham Kerwin, Interim Education Manager, with support from Victoria Maxwell, Education Assistant, Natalie Nicolson, Facilities Manager/ Exhibition Preparator, Nicole Maria Evans, Chief Curator/Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Sara Johnson, Culture & Engagement Manager. It was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Montana Arts Council, an agency of the state government; the National Endowment for the Arts; Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain; the Great Falls Vet Center; the Great Falls Area Community Foundation; and an Anonymous Private Foundation. Their commitment to inclusion and artistic expression has helped bring these powerful stories to light.

Exhibitions at the museum are supported in part by the Montana Arts Council, a state agency funded by the State of Montana, and the National Endowment for the Arts. We are funded in part by coal severance taxes paid based upon coal mined in Montana and deposited in Montana's cultural and aesthetic projects trust fund. Additional funding is provided by museum members and the citizens of Cascade County, Davidson Family Foundation, D.A. Davidson, Montana Credit Union, Hotel Arvon, an anonymous donor, and Kelly’s Signs & Design.
