The Montana World Trade Center at the University of Montana and the Montana Arts Council took 10 Montana artists to the annual “Kentucky Crafted: The Market,” held on February 19-22 in Louisville, Kentucky. Based on the success of former CraftNet member Montana State University-Great Falls’ student show in 2007, this scaled-up showing exposes other regions of the country to the richness and diversity of the art found in Montana and Montana artists—some former students in the Artrepreurship program at Great Falls—with the opportunity to implement newly acquired business knowledge and the chance to compete in a national marketplace. |
