The Dana Gallery’s ‘Our Town’ asks artists for interpretation of their Montana town

Ask for an interpretation of an artist’s hometown in Montana, and you might get a scene of a historic building.

It might be under demolition, it might be going up. Or you might get a scene of a trailer on the edge of town, or an ice-cream shop on Higgins Avenue.

The call for submissions the Dana Gallery put out a year ago for “Our Town,” its new juried exhibition, said the goal was “to not only show the physical nature of your community but, if possible, raise the awareness of the togetherness and sense of community still present in many of our cities, towns and neighborhoods,” regardless of style or medium.

The call went out around Montana. They received about 300 submissions from more than 100 artists, and selected 70 artists, with 100 works total. The former space occupied by 4 Ravens Gallery next door hasn’t been leased yet, so the Dana made more room for all the pieces.
