Montana Western Celebrates Student Art During Spring Show

The University of Montana Western would like to invite the campus and community to the spring Student Art Show with an opening reception to be held on Thursday, April 11 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Gallery located in Main Hall.

Join us as we celebrate the end of the semester and showcase the incredible talent of Montana Western students during the Annual Student Art Show. This year’s show will be juried by Montana artist, Tandy Miles Riddle. Riddle recently held an exhibition at Montana Western titled “River Trip” where she displayed her award-winning plein air art inspired by the beauty she finds and explores in Southwest Montana.

Montana Western students interested in participating in the show can submit their work to the Fine Arts Gallery on April 8 or 9 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Participants can submit up to three unique pieces of work. All submissions must be prepared to be displayed by either being framed or mounted. All forms of media will be accepted and any major is invited to participate.  

A free public reception will be held on Thursday, April 11 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. in UMW’s Fine Arts Gallery. Light refreshments will be served and awards will be presented to the top placing students during this time. The show will be open for viewing from April 11 – 26, 2024. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
