Hockaday Museum of Art Announces Artist Wilderness Connection

The program connects artists with the Flathead National Forest, Hockaday Museum of Art and area communities. The program consists of the Artist residency, Forest experience and the Community Extension. The artist benefits from having a remote setting to focus on their art and the community benefits from the presentations the artists offer from their experience.
