CATCH THE CREATIVITY!

Giant puppets, international artists, thought-provoking conversations, the desire to learn new media… all these and much more attract people of all ages to education events at the Holter Museum. You are invited to explore the wonder of creativity by attending a workshop or an artist’s gallery talk. Help children express themselves and understand culture by volunteering as a docent. Whether you are intellectually curious, want to join a friendly gathering, or just feel like getting your hands into some colorful paint, we have opportunities for you to learn and have fun. Helena residents and visitors have discovered that a contemporary art museum is not just a great place to contemplate the meaning of today’s world, it is also a perfect place to bring children, meet friends, and expand your creativity. The Holter is your museum!
Each season, the Education department offers workshops, artists’ presentations, and hands-on activities that deepen visitors’ engagement with the ever-changing display of visual art. We know that people of all ages learn through making visual art as well as seeing and hearing about it. Involvement with art develops creative thinking skills, strengthens our ability to solve problems, and enhances our appreciation of our own and other cultures. As a regional leader in the field of art education, the museum partners with other organizations to provide programs for school and college students, families, adults, accomplished and aspiring artists. If you are looking for an opportunity or want to help create one for others, please contact us!
