Each of these venues is more than just a place to see art; they are community pillars, supporting and promoting the vibrant culture that makes Choteau a unique and welcoming place.

Supporting a Cause: Community Healthcare

Art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling, and the Shadows of the Past Art Walk is a testament to the rich history and enduring spirit of Choteau. As you move from venue to venue, you’ll encounter pieces that reflect not only the personal journeys of the artists but also the collective memory and identity of the community.

John Ruskin’s Legacy in Choteau

The 2024 Art Walk is inspired by the words of John Ruskin, a renowned art critic who once said, “Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.” As you explore the various exhibits, you’ll see firsthand how local artists have embraced this ideal, creating works that resonate with meaning and emotion.
