Paris Gibson Square

The Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls, MT will purchase and install electronic monitoring equipment in the exhibit and storage areas of the museum. The museum collections include over 600 works, primarily of Modern and Contemporary art of the American Northwest, with works from regionally important artists such as Freeman Butts and Jesse Wilber. Also significant are the collections of self-taught artists, whose works provide a framework for understanding the more conceptual and non-pictorial works of many Contemporary artists. The collection of data will provide a comprehensive climate study of the building, allowing the museum to more accurately design and calibrate the environmental systems and provide for the long-term care of the collections.
