Reception: The Evocative Moment: Stephanie Frostad

Feb 28

LT Pick

from Feb. 28-June 15, the museum’s Meloy Gallery features paintings by Missoula artist Stephanie Frostad. Through works spanning the artist’s career, this exhibition surveys Frostad’s creative concern with myths and metaphors brought to life as pictorial realism. The storytelling tradition is vital to her mission: to create a truly democratic art. “As a narrative painter,” she states, “my objective is to present the essential elements of a story ” In striving toward this aim, she builds pictures that are sometimes joyful, and sometimes mysterious, uncanny, even dark.
Continuing through June 15 is The William A. Clark Collection: A Homecoming, featuring nine works presented to MMAC from the Trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art that once belonged to the estate of “Copper King” William Andrews Clark, a former Montana senator.
