About Art Associates of Missoula
Art Associates of Missoula gives Missoula art lovers a reason to keep showing up, with monthly gallery visits, artist and artisan lectures, and creative workshops that keep the local scene connected. Your support also reaches beyond the room, helping fund the Fifth Grade Art Experience at the Missoula Art Museum and an annual University of Montana art education scholarship. It is the kind of organization that keeps art feeling shared, not separate.
What stands out here is how closely the social side of art and the support side of art sit together. Members gather for gallery visits, talks, and workshops, while the organization also backs the Fifth Grade Art Experience and a University of Montana scholarship for an art student.
