Opening Reception for Encounters
5:00 PM
Hockaday Museum of Art
Description:
The Hockaday Museum of Art is proud to host a Montana Art Gallery Directors' Association (MAGDA) traveling exhibit of Missoula artist Nancy Erickson's Encounters. The exhibition features large-scale, free-form textile compositions inspired by the cave art found at Chauvet Pont d'Arc and Lascaux in France, and will be on display at the Hockaday July 28 through September 10, 2016.

Erickson is a nationally recognized fiber artist, and her artwork recognizes the individual dignity of wild creatures, often juxtaposing them with people or human environments.

The opening reception for Encounters will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Admission is free to the event for members, and $10 for non-members. Throughout the exhibit, visitors may learn more about how the textile compositions were created by taking one of the docent-guided tours held Saturdays at 1:00 PM (included with guest admission). The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The Hockaday Museum of Art is located in the cultural district of downtown Kalispell at 302 Second Ave East. It is housed in a 1904 Carnegie Library building that appears on the National Register of Historic Places. The Museum is a private nonprofit organization, open year-round, Tues-Sat from 10am-5pm. The mission of the Hockaday is to enrich the cultural life of our community and region, and preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park. For more information, please visit www.HockadayMuseum.org or call 406-755-5268.
