The Livingston Center for Art and Culture (LCAC) is proud to host an exhibit celebrating Montana’s agriculture and historical architecture. Foundations: Agricultural and Historical Architecture of Montana runs from May 19th to June 13th. 

Landscape by Joanne Berghold

Montana’s story is written across working landscapes and in historical structures that stand witness to the development of our state. In weathered barns, grain elevators, fence lines, hay fields, and the hands that built them—generations of agricultural tradition continue to shape the character of our state. Discovering and cherishing the essence of Montana’s agricultural heritage is at the heart of Foundations. From the core foundation laid by agriculture in Montana’s economy to its vibrant historical architecture, this show honors the hardworking individuals who shape our state.

For participating artist Joanne Berghold, graphic patterns and designs found in the land and sky have always attracted her. This interest is uniquely captured in her photographs on display in the Foundations exhibit, showcasing how agricultural practices, when captured with a discerning eye, create interesting, beautiful pieces of art. Joanne finds painting and photography go hand in hand. She appreciates what the LCAC does to encourage a diverse group of artists to share their work with the public and is honored to participate in Foundations.
