Message from the Governor

Y

ou don’t have to visit many Montana art galleries or museums to realize that there is something truly inspiring going on in Montana. Maybe it has something to do with the colors of a big sky sunset or the light reflecting off a half-frozen stream, or the ideas that have time to grow over the long winter nights.

But whatever the reason, as you explore the state, you will find that Montana has an incredibly rich culture and talented artistic community. You will find everything you expect from the West and much, much more. Our writers, artists, musicians, dancers and actors include those who bring their tribal traditions to their work, and others who draw their inspiration from growing up in the small towns and cities that dot Montana’s landscape.

Newcomers to all that Montana’s galleries, museums, bookstores and

theaters have to offer can expect to be pleasantly surprised. And those of us who already know how vibrant our arts community is, can look forward to something new to rejuvenate our spirits.

Governor Steve Bullock

reativity – the source of inspiration that gives meaning to our lives through words, music, art and design.

The Montana Arts Council celebrates and promotes the arts and artists in Montana, some of the most creative citizenry in the world.

Montana is home to hundreds of art galleries and museums, bookstores and theatres as you’ll see in this guide. In addition, our state boasts seven symphony orchestra, several dozen community theatres, thirty performing arts series organizations, several ballet companies, hundreds of cowboy and rock and roll bands, summer festivals and crafts fairs, as well as many renowned writers of fact and fiction.

I

t is often said that “no trip is complete without a stop here,” and you can’t travel to Montana without visiting the Montana Historical Society and Montana’s Museum in the Capital City of Helena.

What you will miss if you don’t make the stop is the true and amazing story of the many and diverse people who have called Montana home, and the incredible stories of the ways they have learned to live in this rugged and beautiful land.

Our exhibits are world-class, and we have been called “The Smithsonian of the West.” Our Mackay Gallery of Charles M. Russell art uses beautiful artworks to tell the real story of the Native Americans, explorers, “free trappers,” cowboys and settlers that are the backbone of Montana history.

If you want to learn more about what you are experiencing in Montana, our Research Center with its incredible primary source archives and more than

500,000 historic photographs and images stands ready to help you. Our State Historic Preservation Office can direct you to the unique buildings, sites and other properties in the state that include remains of a Frank Lloyd Wright utopian community and Virginia City, Montana, which is the best preserved gold boom town attraction in the West.

Our friendly staff can also provide you with information on the more than 200 local Montana museums and help you plan your trips to visit our “Cultural Treasures.”

When you travel the state, we hope you take some time to thank all of the people who work hard – often without pay – to collect, preserve and present Montana history to the world.

Remember, no Montana trip is complete without taking some time to enjoy and learn about the history of this great land.

Montana’s Literary Treasures Montana Authors Project

M

ontana has a fine literary tradition with a strong sense of place. Our landscapes shape our culture and our art reflects the influence of big skies, wilderness, and nature. Humanities Montana created the Montana Authors Project (MAP) to explore the relationship between literature and landscape in an online, interactive way.

It’s also a great way to enrich a road trip.

If you find yourself in Glacier Country, pick up Rick Bass’ The Book of Yaak. Go to www.humanitiesmontana.org/map/ for the literary map to find GPS locations for excerpts like: “The Yaak Valley lies within Montana’s northwestern boundaries like the corner of something – like the edge of all things, making the center of a new thing. If you were to fall asleep and then wake to find yourself in Yaak, unless you’d been there before, you would not recognize it as being anywhere you’d previously been” (21).

As you travel through Montana, take some time for the rivers. For a classic literary pairing, walk the banks of the Blackfoot

with your phone and MAP will pinpoint scenes from Norman Maclean’s A River Runs Through It. He writes, “As the heat mirages on the river in front of me danced with and through each other, I could feel patterns from my own life joining with them” (63). Or MAP can lead you to this spot in The Surrounded by Darcy McNickle: “At the creek’s edge he sat on an old log and listened to the water which, though night had come, was still awake, swirling in eddies, slapping upon stones.... There were odors of the thimbleberry, of wet gravel, and, he thought, of fish, but that was imagination” (16). MAP deepens your experiences of Montana.

When you are ready for open spaces, find the place where the narrator in Perma Red exclaims, “I can see for miles and I can’t stop looking or thinking about how lucky I am to see this country, to belong here” (Earling 28). Something about Montana ties us to this place, through blood, history, beauty, and a challenging landscape that

montana authors project MAP brings regional literature to digital life.

Montana’s Cultural Treasures 2016

Montana’s Literary Treasures builds strength and loyalty. Russell Rowland, author of In Open Spaces, takes possession of the land when he says, “Carter County, my county, forms the far southeastern corner [of Montana], sprawling like an old wool blanket spread carelessly across the ground, complete with ridges, wrinkles, hollows, and an occasional hole” (2).

Other sites on MAP highlight Montana’s ranches and plains to emphasize the character-building aspect of the open landscape. In Breaking Clean, Judy Blunt’s father snaps, “Get tough.” Blunt “was learning then the necessary lessons of weeds and seeds and blisters” (3). A.B. Guthrie describes the land “to the east, where the hill and sky met” in The Big Sky (150).

Wherever your Montana travels take you, you’ll find rich literary representations on Humanities Montana’s Montana Author Project. With 16 books and over one hundred sites plotted, with pictures, excerpts and biographies, there’s plenty to explore each time you visit, and a new way to talk

about the landscapes and people you meet.

From east to west, Montana offers literary treasures. As you delve deeper into your Montana adventure, consider former Montana Poet Laureate Henry Real Bird’s words from “The Evolutionary Alfonso Delupe”: Just to see The awe of the mountains Is good enough, A view of Crazy Mountains.

Just to be is good enough.

You see, this was A free country Before America ever was.

Under the laws Of nature The mountains, our Mother.
