TO FOSTER THE CREATION OF AND AWARENESS OF THE ARTS IN PARK COUNTY MONTANA, AS WELL AS FUNCTIONING AS A VITAL HOST OF RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS.
THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO FOSTER CREATION AND AWARENESS OF THE ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY OF PARK COUNTY MONTANA.
THE ORGANIZATION PRESENTS A LECTURE SERIES THAT FOCUSES ON DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS. IT FEATURES GUESTS SUCH AS MONTANA'S POET LAUREATE, A PAINTER, A BREWMASTER AND A CERAMICIST. LECTURE SERIES ARE ALSO HELD TO FOCUS ON WHY SO MANY ARTISTS LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND INCLUDED A PHOTOGRAPHER, A WRITER, A RECORDING COLLABORATIVE AND A PAINTER. A POP-UP SHOW WAS PUT ON IN AN EMPTY STOREFRONT TO EXPLORE THE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP THAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL WITH THE AREA'S NATURAL FEATURES AND ATTRACTIONS. THIS COMMUNITY IS LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. SINCE 2018 THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON RESTORING AND RENOVATING THE BUILDING TO HOUSE THE DANFORTH MUSEUM OF ART. A PART-TIME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS HIRED TO PLAN THE REMODEL AND INCREASE THE SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTITY. THE BOARD COMPLETED A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, UPDATED ITS BYLAWS, REVISED THE MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING BUILDING PLANS AND INTERVIEWING ARCHITECTS. SINCE 2018, THE ORGANIZATION NORMALLY HOSTS A SUMMER-LONG ART SHOW FEATURING MANY OF THE ARTISTS THAT WILL COMPRISE THE PERMANENT COLLECTION OF THE MUSEUM. DUE TO COVID, THE MUSEUM WAS CLOSED DOWN FOR ALMOST ALL OF 2020, AND "THE ART OF QUARANTINE" WAS PRESENTED ONLINE. COVID ALSO CURTAILED BOTH ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS, AND THE ONGOING BUILDING CAMPAIGN. WHILE THE BUILDING IS BEING REMODELED, OPERATING FUNDS ARE PRIMARILY GENERATED BY RENTING OUT STUDIO SPACE TO SEVERAL ARTISTS AND COLLECTIVES. THE ORGANIZATION ASPIRES TO BE A VITAL HOST OF RESOURCES FOR WORKING ARTISTS IN THE PARK COUNTY COMMUNITY.
