“There is something quite special about Montana artists, and nowhere is it more evident than at the Holter Art Auction. The auction exhibition reflects the great range and depth of Montana’s artist community . . . . The exhibition is a compelling statement about the beauty of our landscape, the diversity of artistic vision, and, ultimately, the experience of being human, in all its joy and mystery.”
Bair Gallery

Carroll College reception at the Holter Museum: Thurs, May 6
Holter Reception: Fri, May 7
In the series of photographs that comprises Traces, Montana’s Frontier Re-visited Richard Buswell brings together the elements of time, memory, Montana history and nature. More abstract than in previous series, this work takes a “micro” view at the inevitable march of time. Richard Buswell’s intimate, poetic approach of pulling images out of their original context offers a visual puzzle to solve.
Richard Buswell has been a fastidious collector of images since he dedicated himself to photography in the early1970s. He is a consummate printer who follows closely the exacting procedures first outlined by Ansel Adams in the1930s. Traces is a collaboration between the Holter Museum and Carroll College’s celebration of its centennial.
Millikan Gallery
May 7-Oct 15
Reception: Fri, May 7
This photographic exhibition pairs historic photos of glaciers in Glacier National Park with contemporary images. The pairs have striking visual effect, showing obvious glacial recession and landscape change. USGS researcher/photographer Dan Fagre blends the science of climate change research and repeat photography comparison with the aesthetic of landscape photography. Glacier: Losing a Legacy coincides with the centennial of Glacier National Park that will be celebrated throughout Montana.
High Gallery
May 1- June 30
Reception Friday, May 7
Do artists living together, breathing the same creative air, influence each other’s art? Or does the everyday give-and-take of shared experience create an artistic tension reflected in their work?
Montana is a haven for couples engaged in the act of making art. In Double Vision: Partners in Art, the Holter Museum will bring together the work of regional artist partners, and explore the influence on each other’s work, both individual and collaborative and across media. The exhibition will begin with the works of Frances Senska and Jessie Wilber and continue through to contemporary artists.
