COVER ARTIST

Chance Robinson was born and raised in Billings, Montana and is a 2013 graduate of Billings Central High School. From an early age, Chance has displayed a great appreciation and passion for art in its many manifestations including: ceramics, glass, textiles, and acrylics.

In pursuing his passion for creativity, Chance spent his junior summer of high school studying art at Stanford University, where he was offered an internship with San Francisco-based artist, Julie Chang.

Following his time at Stanford, Chance accepted a scholarship to study at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In Chicago, he focused his studies into the development of alternate mark-making techniques.

With the encouragement of his family, Chance is pursuing his dream of becoming a professional artist. His love of Montana is seen in his work and is balanced with the unique perspective of extensive travel at a young age, experiencing the cultures of Nepal, England, France and Central America.

Dedicated to his community, Chance has also proudly donated numerous pieces raising over $200,000 for local charities and fundraisers in the Billings area. Chance Robinson’s work can be found exclusively at Terakedis Fine Art and Jewelry in Billings, MT.

MESSAGE FROM THE

GOVERNOR

You 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

MONTANA

MONTANA

HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Montana’s story is shaped by the beauty and wonder of its mountains, prairies, rugged landscapes, and clear waters. But even more impactful are the stories of our people The interaction between the landscape and the people who have called this place home completes that story and provides a vision of the past as well as the future.

We invite you to find those stories and seek your own vision of what we call “The Last Best Place” by visiting Montana’s Museum at the Montana Historical Society across from the State Capitol in Helena.

The Montana Historical Society has been telling Montana’s stories since 1865 and honestly, we’ve gotten pretty good at it.

Our exhibits are world-class. From the major collection of artwork by Charles M. Russell (You simply must see Russell’s masterpiece, “When The Land Belongs to God”) that memorializes Native Americans, free trappers and cowboys, to the land that Lewis and Clark passed through when Native Americans called it home. Miners, foresters, homesteaders and community builders that came after - Montana’s Museum is a feast for the eyes and the intellect.

If you are traveling to Montana on vacation or business, we also have a free mobile app that allows us to accompany you on your travels and share the stories and photographs of Montana.

The MHS ExploreBig app is available on Google Play and Apple App Store for both Android and IOS devices. If you want to learn more at home, it is also on the web at explorebig.org or mhs.mt.gov. Let us ride along with you as you travel Montana.

Our talented staff at the Montana Historical Society will answer your questions, help you plan stops along your route, and guide you to Montana museums and galleries that fit your interests and schedule.

Visit mhs.mt.gov for more information and to explore collections.

We want to thank the Lee Newspapers of Montana for telling the stories of Montana’s history and for their support in working with of us to get this great publication into your hands. Let’s celebrate Montana history and our “Cultural Treasures” together.

LITERARY TREASURES

EXPERIENCE MONTANA’S ROOTS

The contemplative nature of Montana’s picturesque landscapes has inspired some of our nation’s most profound artists and authors. With our deep Native American history, small town pace and snow-capped mountain ranges, it is no wonder writers like Norman Maclean and Ivan Doig found great solace and insight here.

While exploring “Big Sky Country,” be sure to take yourself on a literary journey through time with our interactive Montana Authors Project map. MAP allows you to visit and learn about the sites that inspired the famous books and poems that have attracted literary fans for decades. You just might find some inspiration while retracing an author’s

steps through the dense woods surrounding Neihart or the golden banks of the Sun River.

In addition to our literary resources, our Montana Conversations programs are free to the public and offered throughout the state year-round. Join in and learn from our diverse subject experts as they lead conversations on topics like Native American history and the importance of storytelling for cultural preservation; the veteran’s experience and military culture; Muslims in Montana; Latino Montana; spoken-word poetry for integration of real-world experiences, and many more.

Enjoy a living history enactment with Sgt. John Ordway of the Lewis and Clark Expedition or Montana’s first woman elected to U.S. Congress, Jeannette Rankin. Attend a community

From east to west, Montana offers literary treasures and opportunities to study the human experience. Stay curious during your Montana adventure and consider a few words from Montana Poet Laureate Lowell Jaeger’s poem “Gratitude” along the way: I’m driving the long way home.

Meandering along a backroad meadow

where I’ve stalled to breathe and watch the horses play.

Let their blood and flesh, grazing knee-deep in fireworks of wildflowers, lift me.
