On Saturday, February 2nd a group of like-minded artists and art lovers met with Arni Fishbaugh of the Montana Arts Council (MAC) at the ArtSpot Gallery. Arni gave an overview of the MAC, spoke about the Lively Times and State of the Arts publications, grant opportunities, and how other small towns in Montana are getting the word out about local contemporary artists, musicians, folklorists, etc.
One of the many things that came out of Arni's visit was the need for artists to have a way to communicate with other artists within as well as outside the county. ArtSpot Gallery decided to start this blogsite in the hopes that it will help foster communication, the sharing of ideas, etc.
Thank you Arni for taking the time to talk with us! Your visit inspired and energized us!
