Tammy Zemliska spoke to our ArtShop Members Meeting and told us about a couple of art opportunities and I thought I'd pass them on

Global Villages - Consider donating art for the Fall Appreication Auction - Village Houses is the theme
March 7th First Friday (make-up ArtWalk)
Because of the cold and snow, a few galleries have postponed the February Artwalk till the First Friday in March. First Friday is always a great excuse to get downtown, and not with the added benefit of several galleries staying open late.
Sandstone is hosting the Billings Arts Association "Small Works Show and Sale" in the Guest Gallery, a great opportunity to see the work of many of our artists. Come on down and vote on your favorite art, enjoy a snack and glass of wine or juice.
This month our BAA Wall hosts these artists.
