Montana Triennial: 2012
Exhibition Opening and Artists' Reception: May 4, 5-8 PM

MAM's first Montana Triennial was hosted in 2009 and MAM's second Montana Triennial will be hosted May - August, 2012. A triennial is intended to serve as a survey exhibition of contemporary work from a particular region. Most often triennials are selected by a respected juror or panel of jurors from outside of the region.

The Montana Triennial: 2012 will be featured throughout the galleries of MAM. MAM's Triennial is open to artists living and working in the state of Montana and will feature work by both established and emerging artists statewide and include a variety of media. This major statewide event invites artists from every corner of the state and will produce a full-color catalogue including the selected artists, complete with a juror's essay.

The deadline for artists to submit to the triennial is February 1, 2012. Visit www.
missoulaartmuseum.org to apply online. All submissions will be conducted on-line and we are thrilled that Keith Wells Curator of Art at Washington State University will be our guest curator for this important exhibition. Wells earned his MFA at WSU, Pullman in 1998 and was faculty in the Art Department there until he was hired as Curator in 2004.

Montana Triennial: 2012 is sponsored in part by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Jeff and Pat Aresty.
