Arts-Entertainment
ArtWeek Park County is a new annual event aimed at strengthening the community by engaging with the arts and celebrating its creative legacy. This is a place—the Big Bend of the Yellowstone River (Elk River)—where mountain ranges meet and where people build community through sharing creative work. The week features signature events like artist lectures, student & adult workshops, and fine art exhibits, culminating in a live auction of the region’s best art.
The first of its kind in Park County, the Live Fine Art Auction directly supports the artists in our community. Every dollar from auction sales supports local artists and helps keep the local creative community strong. The auction is not a fundraiser, but rather a showcase of some of the best working artists in Southwest Montana. Bidders are investing in more than just a beautiful piece—they’re investing in a living, breathing part of our community.
Park County, Montana, has been a home to working artists for decades, and ArtWeek Park County aims to honor their contributions. Local artists don’t just create; they tell the stories of our town, reflect its culture, and add depth, color, and meaning to everyday spaces. Your support helps keep creativity alive, encourages original expression, and sustains the local economy.
Twenty-eight local working artists have commissioned new works in glass, oil, watercolor, pastel, photography, sculpture, and mixed media. Visit the Livingston Center for Art and Culture, located at 119 S. Main St., beginning September 9th to preview all the artwork available in the sale, as well as a special artist reception during the final downtown Livingston Art Walk of the season on Friday, September 26th. The ArtWeek Auction Catalog is available at participating organizations, or by request. You can also explore the featured artworks online at Hyperlink www.artweekpc.com/auction.
Supporting the region’s artists, the inaugural live auction will be held at the Livingston Depot Center located at 200 W. Park St., on Saturday, September 27th. Renowned auctioneers, Black and Associates, will lead an exciting evening including a riveting live auction of southwest Montana’s best art! Doors open at 5 pm. Cocktails will be served prior to an artfully catered dinner by Food For Thought Catering featuring a locally sourced menu. The live auction event will begin at 7:15 pm. Tickets are available at ArtWeekPC.com.
The countywide celebration of the arts is a partnership between the Livingston Depot Center, Danforth Museum of Art, and Livingston Center for Art and Culture. ArtWeek Park County celebrates local artists, provides workshops for all ages, and enhances the end of the summer tourism season in our beautiful Park County.
