Mark your calendars for the 2010 Rendezvous –
Thursday, August 19 through Sunday, August 22
We have four fun-filled days of the Western Rendezvous of Art event in store for you this year!
We will bring back popular events like Thursday’s BBQ at the Montana Historical Society and the Quick Draw and Brunch at the Sieben Ranch.
The Red Lion Colonial Hotel will again be our Rendezvous headquarters— hosting the Art Show; the Artists’ Reception and Autograph Party; and Friday night’s Award Banquet. Hours for the Rendezvous Art Show, Thursday through Saturday, are set to allow maximum time to enjoy the extensive collection of first-class paintings and sculpture gathered together for you at Rendezvous. New Rendezvous features include: a special Friday afternoon with NWR artist Harley Brown at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in downtown Helena, and a first — join us for milk and cookies following the Thursday BBQ for a special visual treat — more information to come.
Our aim is to not only bring you the best in today’s contemporary art, but also to make sure you have an enjoyable and welcoming experience at Rendezvous! Please let us know if you have any questions or how we can help. We hope you will join us in Helena for the Western Rendezvous of Art in 2010!
