Welcome to the Missoula Art Museum’s 41st Benefit Art Auction. This year’s theme, ARTISTS COLOR OUR WORLD, reflects the many ways artists shape us and our world. Artists and their artwork help to define societies, outline aspirations, and show us ways of seeing the world. Artists, tonight we celebrate you.
As MAM’s largest fundraiser of the year, the Auction provides critical sustenance for MAM’s contemporary art exhibitions and educational programming, while offering FREE Admission. Thank you for supporting Missoula’s defining contemporary art institution and for bolstering the cultural spirit of our community.
