Biennials and triennials around the world are intended to function as survey exhibitions of contemporary art that represent the cutting edge art created in a particular region, with works typically chosen by a respected juror or panel of jurors from outside the region. Montana and its cultural institutions have never attempted to host such an all-encompassing exhibition before, but following the reopening of the extensively renovated museum in September 2006, MAM felt uniquely positioned to host this significant regional survey within the new galleries.
Missoula Art Museum’s first Montana Triennial will be hosted at MAM from June 26 to September 24, 2009. This important juried exhibition will feature the artwork of emerging and established professional artists living and working in the state of Montana. MAM’s 2009 Montana Triennial will consist of 88 works created by 60 artists, and will represent a full range of media, style, and theme. In honor of the exhibition, MAM will publish a full-color, documentary catalogue featuring the exhibiting artists, their work, and an interpretive essay by Montana Triennial juror Beth Sellars.
