Soundings captures the pulsations, horizons, chromatic shifts, and the analogy between the musical and geographical space. Artist, teacher and jazz musician, Rankin’s work is exhibited and collected widely throughout the West. In 2000, The University of Montana-Missoula celebrated a 30-year retrospective of his work. The Holter is honored to host Jerry Rankin’s vibrant new body of work.

To support the on-going programs of the Holter, the Reunion event will include a silent auction of Art Tours and Dinners. We are very pleased to offer 11 studio tours paired with special dinners prepared by talented chefs in the Helena community. These tours are for groups of 8 or 10, so gather your friends and come prepared to bid generously on these fabulous packages. We are very appreciative of the artists, chefs, and hosts who are sharing their talents with us to make these tours/dinners available. A listing of the tours, chefs, and locations is available by calling the museum at 442-6400.

During the evening, we will celebrate our 25-year history by setting aside a space for interviews and storytelling. A young intern from Carroll College will videotape interviews with willing participants in the museum library. If you have a story or a memory that you would like to share, we urge you to participate and help us document our shared history.

We hope that you will be able to join us on April 28th to celebrate the many accomplishments that 25 years of community support can yield. We also hope that you will reflect on your own role – large or small – in making the Holter Museum of Art the community asset that it is today.

We look forward to seeing you soon at the Holter!
