Two exhibitions are new for January. Edith Freeman’s “Montana Seasons” starts 2013 with detailed and colorful woodcut prints featuring the landscape subtleties of eastern Montana. The third year of the “Catch the Vision: From Dreams to Discovery” will provide a glimpse into future professional artists’ media and styles.
