In January, MAM is bringing back the exclusive art-viewing soirées that were so popular last year. Parties may be booked for groups of up to 12 for the evenings of Jan. 12, 19, and 26. Enjoy wine, charcuterie, and a brief program in the gallery, while viewing the artworks available in this year's upcoming auction. Bid on silent auction items to grow your collection and make your plan for the big night. This is a great option for parties who can't make it to the live event in February too!

All auction artworks exhibited at Missoula Art Museum Jan. 6 through Feb. 2. Join us for a First Friday celebration to honor artists on Jan. 6 from 5 to 8 PM. Artists will be in attendance. Live music by The Mighty Travis and no-host bar.

LIVE AUCTION BACK IN THE BALLROOM IN 2023!!!
We are thrilled to return to an in-person live auction and celebration of artists and contemporary art!

The 2023 Benefit Art Auction will include a silent auction and the live auction event will be held on February 4, 2023. This year more than 70 artists have contributed their work. MAM will exhibit all artwork Jan. 6 to Feb. 2 and silent auction bidding will be open through the month.

MAM's commitment to free admission, free expression, and free education is center stage at the annual benefit art auction. For almost 50 years, the benefit art auction has made it possible to share these values and great works of art with our entire community. MAM’s live auction is a spectator sport that has to be experienced to be appreciated.

The purchase of live and silent auction artworks at MAM’s benefit art auction supports all of MAM’s core programs and exhibitions. MAM is proud to support more than 200 local, regional, and national artists through exhibitions each year and offer free educational programs to all schools in our region.
