37th Festival of the Arts

The Festival of the Arts showcases fine artists, artisans, and handcrafters from Montana and the western region into the three-day juried presentation. Past and new vendors will show a wide array of oil paintings, photography, woodwork, ceramics, jewelry, metal work, apparel, repurposed antiques, stained glass, herbals, toys, and more.
“The Festival is so much fun and a great way to support our local artists. We are so impressed with the caliber and diversity of the artists and crafters this year. Between our returning favorites and a new crop of outstanding creators, I think it’s the best mix of work yet,” said Depot director Laura Cota. “ We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Depot Park for the 37th year, and back to our town for the yearly Fourth of July festivities. ” 
The event also includes a variety of food vendors like Old Faithful Franks, Crepe Diem, Bad Burger, Mountain Berry Bowls, Taste of Asia, chocolates, specialty lemonades, flavored ices and ice creams. 
Visitors can also enjoy the adjacent Depot Museum’s historic rail and Yellowstone exhibits, as well as this year’s special exhibit, “The Grizzly Bear Illustrated: 1828-1943.” The curated collection of vintage imagery explores the complex relationship between humans and grizzly bears on the early western frontier.
