HER PERSPECTIVE
Rediscovering Glacier’s Women Artists
Hockaday Museum of Art to exhibit “A Timeless Legacy - Women Artists of Glacier National Park” with paintings, book, and documentary film
BY MOLLY PRIDDY t IMAGES COURTESY OF HOCKADAY MUSEUM OF ART
n May, Kalispell’s Hockaday Museum of Art will open a show
dedicated to some of the pioneer- ing women artists who ventured to Glacier National Park. On the surface, it might seem like a typ- ical idea for an art show, but the reality goes deeper than that.
In truth, this exhibit is only
partly about art. It’s also about
passion and drive and talent, the
three combining to become beau-
tiful and singular works of art, cre-
ated by women who felt so compelled to be there that they stepped outside regular gender roles of their times to do so.
Yes, there will be paintings of Glacier Park, but there is more. This is also an exhibit about true artistic love and devotion. >>
