Hockaday’s children's exhibit highlights theme of light

The Hockaday Museum of Art’s new exhibit “Looking for Light: Children’s Art Exhibition” will be on view March 25 to April 23. Elementary and Middle School students from Northwest Montana schools share their artistic expressions in a variety of media, focusing on the theme of light, a composition technique, subject matter, or as an entire artwork.

The opening event for this beloved annual community exhibition will be from 5 to 7 p.m. March 31 and is free and open to the public.

Over 100 artworks of a variety of media were selected in partnership with participating art teachers who made a pre-selection of entries along with open submissions from homeschool and individual artists and organized by Hockaday Education Director Kathy Martin. The exhibition is also open to students in Smith Valley, Fortine, Pleasant Valley, West Glacier, Hot Springs, and other areas. All work is new and must have been created between September 2021and March 2022.
