Watershed Stories, Meloy Gallery
This regional non-juried photography exhibition features a broad cross-section of images of the Clark Fork, Blackfoot, and Silverbow watersheds. A response to the upcoming removal of the Milltown Dam, the public of all ages and abilities was invited to document life within these affected watersheds.

Rephotographing Atget:
Christopher Rauschenberg, Paxson Gallery
In this exhibition, photographer Christopher Rauschenberg revisits 500 locations in Paris originally photographed nearly 100 years earlier by Eugéne Atget. The resulting work pays homage to Atget and serves as a commentary on photography as history and art. Special thanks to Dr. Janet G. House, Dr. Edwin House, and the Alliance Francaise for their generous support.

Fall Hours beginning September 1
Tues.-Thurs. 11am-3pm, Fri.-Sat. 4-8:30pm
