Upcoming Events

The University of Montana Western Fine Arts Gallery is honored to present “Where Things Settle: The Space of Becoming”. This Exhibit brings together work by upper-level art students at a moment of transition, showcasing the works of Lacey Boots, Samantha Carr, Emily Hansen, Racheal Hanson, Emilee Malcomb, and Granville Parham.

The exhibition reflects practices shaped through sustained inquiry—where material decisions, conceptual questions, and personal languages have begun to find clarity, while remaining open to change. These works occupy a space between resolution and possibility. They are attentive to process, form, and intention, acknowledging that making is not only about arrival, but about learning where to pause, where to listen, and where growth continues.

Gallery Hours: Mon.- Fri., 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Experience a classic farce turned on its head! In this bold, gender-swapped adaptation of The Country Wife, the scandalous wit of Restoration comedy collides with fresh perspective. Follow the notorious Harry Horner—a sharp-tongued womanizer—as he tricks his way into the homes (and hearts) of unsuspecting wives. With the help of a complicit doctor, Horner spreads a rumor that he is no longer a threat to marital fidelity, clearing the way for a whirlwind of secret rendezvous and social chaos. As the lies pile up and the stakes rise, this raucous comedy races toward an outrageous climax.

Sponsored by the Fund for Experience One, our conference provides a multidisciplinary forum for academic minds to gather and exchange ideas worth sharing. Speakers selected to present at TEDx University of Montana Western are directly connected to the local community or have topics that support Montana Western’s mission and values.
