Visit MAM for First Fridays from 5-8 PM. Mingle with exhibiting artists as we celebrate their art contributions to MAM's 40th Benefit Art Auction. Preview the exceptional contemporary art available at the auction, purchase your tickets, and applaud the generosity of these artists. The impressive exhibition ranges from paintings and drawings to ceramics and photography and highlights some of the best emerging and established artists in our region. Sample tasty hors d'oeuvres and join Jennifer Combe and Jane Goffe for an exhibiting artists' gallery talk at 7 PM. Enjoy the country ballads of Russ Nasset throughout the night. View exhibitions in six galleries, sample delicious wine, enjoy hand-crafted microbrew from Flathead Lake Brewing Co., and non-alcoholic beverages. Always free.
