Yellowstone Art Museum

The Yellowstone Art Museum will develop, design, and fabricate a two-year series of five temporary exhibitions and will carry out publication research, design, and printing for catalogs for each of the exhibitions. The project addresses the challenge of presenting the diversity of contemporary art for the geographically remote population of Montana. The exhibitions will feature a group of five artists who have made extraordinary contributions to Montana's cultural landscape. The series is intended to examine and honor their work, enrich public understanding of them in a way that aligns with the public's interests and demands, and serve as a foundation for curriculum-based and informal learning. Desired project outcomes include: 1) positive visitor ratings for each exhibition, 2) quality exhibitions that reinforce the museum's reputation as the leading resource on Montana's artists, 3) well-researched publications for each exhibition, and 4) content that supports an increase in curriculum-based school tours.
