Fort Peck Arts in the Park

ArtSpot Gallery and the Fort Peck Hotel sponsored the 2008 Fort Peck Arts in the Park that was held on Saturday, August 16th. Twenty different artists/vendors showed their artwork and wares from paintings, photography, and jewelry to hand-crocheted items, soy candles, and gourd art. The Children's Museum of Northeast Montana was on hand for face painting and a fun craft as was the Fort Peck Dam Interpretive Center.










Approximately 275 people showed for Arts in the Park! Dan and Deb Davis of Whistlers Journey played a wide-range of music throughout the afternoon from classical, rock, and Hawaiian!!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this a successful and fun-filled family event!

July Artist Reception at the ArtSpot Gallery
Thursday, July 3rd from 3-6 pm

Soma-Dis Deli open until 6 pm

Due to the festivities in Glasgow this week, the July Open House at the ArtSpot Gallery will be this THURSDAY, July 3rd from 3-6 pm. Join us in celebrating the work of Barbara Hansen, a talented Glasgow painter.

The ArtSpot Gallery is located in the mezzanine of the Soma-Dis Deli in Glasgow. Usually closed by 4 pm, the Soma-Dis Deli will be open until 6 pm this Thursday during Barbara’s Reception so you can purchase your favorite sandwich or dessert after taking in the art.

“Painting has been my hobby for many years, so what you see here is a sampling of my work dating back as far as the late 1960s,” Barbara says. She uses acrylics and oils to create her paintings.

“With the exception of some of the pieces which were class projects, I mainly paint from photographs I have taken while hiking in the badlands, mountains, and desert. I find that I can relive wonderful trips and experiences by creating a painting of a particular place.”

The Reception is free and open to the public. For questions concerning the Artist Reception on July 3rd, showing your artwork during the Community Show in December, or to purchase any of Barbara’s work please contact either Laura Gittings-Carlson at 526-7262, Toni Marie LaGree at 228-9072, or email artspotgallery@gmail.com.
