A Biennial, or in this case, a Triennial, is intended to serve as a survey exhibition of contemporary work from a particular region. The Triennial is a perfect fit for the Missoula Art Museum's programming, whose mission "strives to engage artists and audiences in the
creative exploration of contemporary art relevant to our community, state and region."
Most often Triennials are selected by a respected juror or panel of jurors from outside of the state. Keith Wells, Curator of Art at Washington State University's Museum of Art, was tapped to be this year's juror. Wells is no stranger to Missoula having curated the Galen Hansen exhibition at MAM in 2008 and having presented a rousing gallery talk. MAM would like to thank Keith Wells for this Herculean effort in the role of juror for Montana Triennial: 2012. Wells selected 25% of the artists that submitted work.
Montana Triennial: 2012 will be displayed in the Carnegie, Aresty, Silver and Shott Galleries, doubling the space and effort dedicated to this important juried exhibition. To
that end, over 100 works were selected for inclusion. The exhibition, open to all artists living and working in the state of Montana, will feature work by both established and emerging artists statewide and include a variety of media. The exhibit will also feature a full color catalog consisting of the selected artists and their work and an essay by the juror Keith Wells.
