“This year’s Congressional Art Competition provides Montana’s high school students an opportunity to showcase their artistic talents. The winning submission will be hung in the U.S. Capitol where hundreds of thousands of visitors can see the artwork of one of Montana’s most talented young artists,” Gianforte said. “It will also be one of my reminders of home.”

Marla North pursuing her passion

Former Lewistown counselor Marla North is making the most of her recent retirement by writing, writing and writing some more.

Not only is she writing – North is publishing.

Her first book, “The Owl and the Kitten,” was a children’s book, and it came to her naturally.

“It came from a dream I had about 15 years ago,” she said. “I woke up, wrote it down and it was all there. I used to have really prolific dreams.”

Art Center Happenings

Thanks to all who came out last Friday for the opening of “To the Bone” at the Margie Wilkins Gallery featuring the work of ceramic artist Crista Ann Ames. “To the Bone” features a variety of Crista’s figurative sculptures, and a few functional pots as well. Each piece speaks to themes of production and labor, as a clenched fist holds a sharpened sickle, or bodiless hands reach to start a chainsaw. The chainsaw sculpture, aptly titled “Rip It,” was the focal point of the exhibition, and Ames answered multiple questions about the piece during a brief artist talk.
