Inspiring Creativity for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities with contemporary art.
We are feeling the love of our community here at the Holter Museum of Art! Your belief in the Holter as an epicenter of art, culture, and education was evidenced by the outpouring of support during our annual giving campaign between November 9, 2023 and January 31, 2024. Please note, this only captures a snapshot of the support that makes our work here at the Holter possible.
Thanks to a grant from our friends at the Treacy Foundation, the Holter Museum will be renovating our floors throughout early 2024. This thoughtful gift allows us to complete much-needed maintenance. We look forward to showcasing our beautiful new floors as early as April 2024. We are so grateful and know it will be enjoyed by patrons of the Holter for years to come.
The McBride Foundation recently granted $5,000 to the Holter’s education programs and everyday operating costs. This high-impact contribution allows us to focus on what we do best – providing enriching education programs and transforming lives through exposure to art. Thank you for helping us live out our mission!
We are sincerely appreciative of the Montana Arts Council’s enduring support of the Holter Museum of Art. Over the next two years, our community will benefit from over $30,000 of investments in the confluence of our museum and community. Many of these dollars will be spent bringing professional artists into our public schools for residencies, inspiring and training the next generation of Helena creatives and allowing children to grow both socially and emotionally through these experiences. On behalf of the Holter, and the many lives these grants will touch, thank you.
The Holter Museum of Art relies on the generous support of individuals, businesses, and our community to help sustain our community and educational programming, preserve and expand the Holter’s art collection, and bring diverse and world-class exhibitions to our region.
Please note that this recognition is actively being worked on.
The hope is that this verbal/written acknowledgement of indigenous lands goes beyond the intent of recognition and holds the Holter to actively working with Helena’s tribal communities to listen and respond to expressed needs and wants, and to have programming designed with and for native voices and for the greater Helena community.
The Holter Museum of Art recognizes the land in and around Helena, Montana and the space upon which the museum stands as traditional Blackfoot and Salish Kootenai territories, and at one point in time, Shoshone territory as well. This recognition is meant as an acknowledgement of the space the museum holds within colonized lands and the significance, as a cultural and educational space, the museum must place on Indian Education for All and on the representation of Native voices within the contemporary arts world.
