ArtsMontana.com was established March 27, 2007 as a public service to the Livingston community and those interested in our many cultural offerings. Artists and arts links are unpaid and are chosen by ArtsMontana.com based on criteria described below. Costs of promoting the site are supported in some measure by generous sponsors but editorial content is determined only by ArtsMontana.com.

To contribute content, see our Participate page.

AUGUST 2008 UPDATE: With almost 10,000 visitors from all over the world in the first 16 months, ArtsMontana.com is meeting its goal to be the most comprehensive, one-stop resource for links to, articles about, and event information for Livingston’s diverse and rich creative community.

Artsmontana.com is a discriminating and unified resource about the arts in Livingston, Montana. Artsmontana.com highlights the work of the many independent, professional artists who live and work in Livingston, and for whom art is a primary activity and, in some cases, a livelihood. It is also a source for arts reviews, interviews, articles, events, and featured images.

Artsmontana.com is produced on a volunteer basis by Lynn Weaver, a former gallery director, and a Livingston graphic and Web site designer.

The visual artists listed on artsmontana.com:

• Live and work in Livingston or the immediate area, usually from a studio at home or downtown, or have a strong Livingston tie by having their work regularly shown in Livingston galleries.
• Make art as a primary activity and depend on this work for their livelihoods.
• Have had their work in juried, curated, or invitational shows; and/or are represented in galleries in Montana and elsewhere.
• Are in museum or private collections in Montana and elsewhere.
• Have education and training in fine art.
• Work independently and, for the most part, don’t operate their own galleries.

Artsmontana.com welcomes Site Sponsorships or listings in Livingston’s only fully searchable, database-driven, categorical, and descriptive Business Directory. Unlike other Montana directories, this one focuses exclusively on Livingston and is locally maintained. Compare to national directories that include Livingston among thousands of listings, or to online Yellow Pages listings which don’t offer descriptive text. See the Business Directory in action. Download an informative rate sheet.

Artsmontana.com is a labor of love; current revenue from Business Sponsorships and Listings covers a portion of the expense of marketing the site and none of the hours of work.
