The Holter Museum of Art, located in Helena, Montana, has been a cornerstone of the community since its opening in 1987. It offers a vibrant space for residents and visitors to engage with contemporary art in central Montana. Over the years, the museum has expanded significantly, thanks to a successful capital campaign in 2002, resulting in a dynamic 17,000 square foot facility.

The museum aims to stimulate creativity, curiosity, and collaboration through visual arts, making the experience accessible to all. With five exhibition galleries, an education center, and a collections & research center, the Holter Museum of Art hosts between 15-20 rotating exhibitions each year.

This comprehensive approach has solidified the Holter Museum of Art as one of the premier cultural centers in the region. Through its programming, the museum encourages community representation, promotes lifelong arts learning, and preserves the record of our time and place in history.
